The author prophesies that God loves mercy and not just formal sacrifices. Amos was born near the south of Jerusalem, but directed his prophecies to the northern kingdom (Israel). The book of Amos includes: an epigraph; the oracles against Judah, Israel, and neighboring countries; the trials against Israel; The five symbolic visions; and the final promise of restoration and vision of messianic blessings. His teaching emphasizes that the future greatness of Israel would not be ensured by power or wealth but by justice and judgment. (The basket of summer fruit) Thus the Lord God has shown me: Here is a basket of summer fruit. And he said: What do you see, Amos? And I replied: A basket of summer fruit. And the Lord said to me, The end has come upon my people Israel; I will not tolerate it anymore. And the singers of the temple shall groan in that day, says the Lord God; many will be the dead bodies; everywhere they will be cast out in silence. (The judgment on Israel draws near) Hear this, you who exploit the needy, and ruin the poor of the land, (Continued in chapter 8, verse 40)
