Transcription: People were too busy enjoying the good life to listen to the rantings of a prophet, and for precisely that reason Amos spoke in italics and exclamation points. Unlike Jonah, Amos was not a professional prophet. He was a man of the land, a shepherd, and a tinder of sycamore trees. A migrant to Israel from the south, he spoke with a rural accent and was probably the butt of many jokes by city sophisticates.
