Amos

Amos, whose name is related to a verb means to bear a load, was burdened over the sin of the northern kingdom in the eighteenth century B.C. Whereas Hosea was crushed with a sense of the unfaith fullness of Israel to the love of God, Amos was outraged at the violence they had done to the justice and righteousness of God. The note he strikes in his prophecy is the counterpart and corollary to the message uttered by Hosea. The words most descriptive of Amos's message are "But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream." Social justice is inseparable from true pity.
