About the Book of Amos Quiz

Amos was a shepherd and a farmer of sycamore-fig trees from Tekoa in Judah, sent to preach to the prosperous northern kingdom of Israel. He condemned the nations around Israel and then turned on Israel itself for selling the needy for a pair of sandals, trampling the poor and worshipping at Bethel while ignoring justice. His visions of locusts, fire, a plumb line and a basket of ripe fruit warned that judgment was near. The book ends with the promise that God will restore David's fallen shelter. This quiz covers all 9 chapters, and every answer comes with the chapter and verse.
