Through Amos, God condemns the marked oppression, the flagrant injustice, the unwonted luxury and extravagance, the shameless feasting and drunkenness, and the gross immorality and depravity of the people. He is not impressed with feast days, sacred assemblies, offerings, and songs so long as there are people who are being mistreated. In Amos 5: 24, He commands: “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” Other scriptures referenced include Matthew 5:23-24.
