To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is obviously the reason why he places loyal love^ (hesed), rather than justice in the foreground of his thought as Jahveh's supreme requirement. Consequently, also, he appeals to the love rather than the fear of God in the motives he urges for the realization of his ethical ideals in the life of the nation. He is thus a more winning preacher of morals than Amos, in so far as the sweet constraint of love is greater and more last- ing than the compulsion of fear. Perhaps some of these differ...ences are to be sought in temperament as much as in the personal experiences that form the back- ground of their respective messages. The following tabular comparison will make the correspondences and differences more apparent : — ^ Both the land and its people appear in this r61e. Cf . I : 2 where the land is the "mother"; in 5: 7 and 6: 4 the people are in the mind of the prophet. For "baal" as owner and husband see p. 192. ^ Hesed is difficult to translate because it comprehends several mean- ings which must be rendered by different words in English.
