2 Kings 7:3-20; 2 Kings 8:7-15; 2 Kings 13:14-21; 2 Kings 13:24-25; 2 Kings 13:12-13; 2 Kings 14:15-16; 2 Kings 14:23; 2 Kings 14:17-20; 2 Chronicles 25:25-28; 2 Kings 14:21-22; 2 Kings 15:1-5; 2 Chronicles 26:1-21; Amos 1:1-15

Amos the Prophet speaks the word of the Lord against Israel's neighbors--Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, and Ammon. These are the things that God despises among those neighbors:

  1. The destruction of Gilead
  2. Capturing whole communities and selling them into slavery
  3. Disregard for previously-established treaties
  4. Violence against members of God's family
  5. Murder of pregnant women during warfare
Who is the prophet denouncing today's atrocities? Where is she? How is he speaking for the Lord?
