Amos

The Lord announces judgment on various nations, including Damascus, Gaza, Tyrus, Edom, and Ammon, for their transgressions, and will send fire to devour their palaces and cities, taking their people into captivity. The Lord also judges Moab, Judah, and Israel for their sins, including despising the law, selling the righteous for silver, and rejecting the Lord's prophets. Israel's leaders are corrupt, and the Lord will bring an adversary against them, spoiling their strength and palaces. The wealthy and powerful in Samaria are condemned for their oppression of the poor and needy, and God warns them of impending judgment and exile. The Lord laments the downfall of Israel, warning that the nation will be severely punished, with only a small remnant surviving. The people are called to seek the Lord and live, rather than continuing in their sinful ways. The Lord rejects their empty worship and offerings, instead desiring true justice and righteousness. The people are warned that they will be taken into captivity beyond Damascus for their idolatry and disobedience.
