Reading for August 29th

Read Amos 3.1-8 The power of prophets.
After a brief description of Israel's past salvation and future punishment (vv. 1-2), Amos begins a speech composed entirely of rhetorical questions (vv. 3-8).
With the first questions, Amos gains the audience's agreement on obvious issues in order to convince them of his real claim: When prophets speak, their words are the words of God (vv. 7-8).
