This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Amos 2:6–3:8. It accompanies the Torah portion Vayeishev (Genesis 37:1–40:23).

This passage addresses some of the sins of the kingdom of Israel, where social, moral, and religious perversions were rife. Through His prophet the Almighty reminds Israel that she was specially chosen from among all the families of the earth, and for that very reason she will be called to account for her sins. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
