Amos Challenges Injustice

Justice is an attribute of God. We have been created in the likeness of God and are expected to be just and fair in all our dealings with others. Amos chided the people of Israel for their failure to show justice to the poor by oppressing them and devising schemes to rip them off. Amos reminds the people that God holds them accountable. God refused to accept the oppressors' worship, and promised to send judgment on both people and land. God would take away their wealth and send them into captivity.
