The Book Of Amos - A Brief Overview
The book of the prophecies of Amos seems to be divided into four
principal portions closely connected together. (1) From 1:1 to 2:3 he
denounces the sins of the nations bordering on Israel and Judah. (2) From
2:4 to 6:14 he describes the state of those two kingdoms, especially, the
former. (3) From 7:1 to 9:10 he relates his visit to Bethel, and sketches
the impending punishment of Israel. At last he promises blessings. The
chief peculiarity of the style consists in the number of allusions to
natural objects and agricultural occupations, as might be expected from
the early life of the author.
