The Bible, King James version, Book 30: Amos

"The Bible, King James version, Book 30: Amos" by Anonymous is an ancient prophetic text from the 8th century BC, emerging during a time of unrest in Israel, where a simple shepherd and farmer named Amos is chosen by God to deliver stark warnings and glimmers of hope. Found within religious texts, this book tackles major issues of fairness in society, the idea of payback from a higher power, and what happens when people turn away from what is right. Amos tells of God's coming judgment on Israel and nearby countries because of their bad actions, like mistreating the poor and worshiping false idols. He uses strong, descriptive language to point out how Israel has failed to live up to God’s standards, warning them of exile and other punishments, but mixed with the warnings is a promise that things can be made right if people choose to return to God's path, highlighting the need for justice, kindness, and following God's rules.
