The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
    Amos announced God’s judgment against Israel’s neighbors (Amos 1:1 - 2:3). He then turns to Judah (Amos 2:4-5) and Israel (Amos 2:6-16). Details about Israel’s specific sins and its impending judgment are related (Amos 3:1 - 6:14).
