Amos writes of God's complaint about the "inequities" that characterize those living in lands that claim to worship him. What specific inequities does he take issue with, and why? What viewpoint does Amos write from—the rich and powerful, or the poor and impoverished? How does the book of Jeremiah address issues of justice and inequity, and how is it similar or different from what is found in the Book of Amos? How do these works speak the concept of the covenant?
