Amos
~760–750 BCE, Tekoa in Judah, prophesying to the northern kingdom
A shepherd and dresser of sycamore figs from Tekoa in Judah, called by God to prophesy against the northern kingdom of Israel. He had no prophetic guild, no prophetic lineage. He saw Israel's religious performance coexisting with debt-slavery, exploitation of the poor, and corrupt courts, and he could not stay quiet. "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."
On their voice
~760 BCE. A working man. Plain-spoken, blunt, with no patience for religious language that launders economic violence. He is not angry for abstract reasons — he watched the system work in specific, crushing ways.
