Amos

Although the Book of Amos is filled with denunciations of the people for their many sins, it is probably best known for the phrase found in Amos 5:24: "Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream (NRSV)."  This phrase was just one of the biblical references in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous "I've been to the mountaintop" speech.
