God sent a shepherd named Amos to talk to His people. They were going to church and singing songs, but they were being mean to poor people.
God said, “I don't want your songs if you're not being fair and kind!”
Amos said, “Let fairness roll like a river, and let goodness flow like a stream that never stops.”
