'Seek good, and not evil that you may live, and so the Lord, the God of host, will be with you, as you have said...' Which prophet gave this advice?
Answer Details
This advice was given by the prophet Amos in the Old Testament of the Bible. Amos was a prophet from the southern kingdom of Judah who was called by God to prophesy to the northern kingdom of Israel. His message was one of social justice and a warning of impending judgment for Israel's sins of oppression, idolatry, and injustice. In the quoted passage, Amos advises the people to seek goodness and righteousness rather than evil, in order to live and prosper. He emphasizes that if they follow this path, God will be with them as he promised. This message of seeking righteousness and turning away from evil is a recurring theme in Amos' prophetic message.
