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.
