 God is pissed. And it's not so surprising when God is pissed off at Damascus, Gaza, Edom, Ammon, Moab, you know, those people. The God's anger carried by Amos turns out to be directed at Israel, God's own people, maybe at us. Even your sacrifices and your holy days, the things you claim to do for me, I'm not interested. Not when you oppress the poor and exploit those in need. So what does God want? Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice and endless river of righteous living. Until then, expect exile.
