Question 1 Report

''...But let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an overflowing stream.''

Amos' statement above suggests that the society was terribly

Answer Details
The statement above by Amos suggests that the society was oppressive. The phrase "let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an overflowing stream" implies that there was a lack of justice and righteousness in the society. The use of the metaphor of water suggests that justice and righteousness should be constant and abundant like water, which indicates that they were not present in the society at the time. Therefore, the statement suggests that the society was oppressive and in need of justice and righteousness to be established.
