Amos

Speaks against injustice and predicts Israel's punishment but ends with hope for restoration.

Chapter 2

KJV - Amos 2:6

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;

So says the Lord: Because of the three wrongs committed by Israel and even more, the punishment will not be withdrawn. This is because they sold righteous people for money and poor people for a pair of shoes.
