Amos was a shepherd and fig farmer from Tekoa in Judah who was sent north to prophesy against Israel, insisting he was no professional prophet and had no prophetic family background, just a farmer God pulled off the job. His book condemns Israel's wealthy for exploiting the poor while performing empty religious rituals, and its most quoted line demands that justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. A different Amos is listed simply as an ancestor of Jesus in Luke's genealogy.
