I read this with a sense of despair. In the passages 8 centuries apart the social condition remains virtually unchanged, the call from God the same. In 2022 we face the same kind of structure -- as you point out 27 centuries with no change. Do we hear the words and challenges made by God? How do we as believers create the conditions to fulfill the call of God to Justice and Equity against what seems to be an immovable mountain of injustice and inequity?

Amos and Eric say it like it is!
