A bit of a shock to read of Amos denunciation of Israel, the rich northern kingdom while Amos was from the Judah in the south. A bit like a Scottish HGV driver announcing the Lord’s judgement on England from Parliament Square! So what does God hate? A corrupt legal system; public lies; squeezing the poor (and building basement cinemas with the proceeds!). I.e. those who “afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and turn aside the needy.” (v.12)
