Amos sings a lament over fallen Israel yet repeatedly calls the nation to seek the LORD and live. He condemns those who turn judgment into wormwood, oppress the poor, take bribes, and afflict the just. Israel’s desire for the Day of the LORD is exposed as foolish because that day will be darkness for them; the LORD rejects their feasts and songs and demands that judgment and righteousness flow.
