Amos was a herdsman and tender of trees when God took him from following the flock and sent him to prophesy. He is remembered for his ringing call for justice to roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Amos is a warm, vintage name — humble in its roots and strong in its message.
Amos in the Bible
And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
