The visions of Amos are openly figurative presentations of prophetic thought and abstraction, poetical images apt to enlighten as symbols, and totally unapt to create an illusion of reality. Hosea''s parabolical introductions are narratives of common life, bearing a deceptive semblance of truth. These characteristics tend to show that the younger prophet was as such less natural than the older, or, which is more probable, that in the writings of the former we have elaborations intended to be read--in public--and in the work of the latter mostly half-improvised addresses, subsequently condensed and cast into a more or less poetical shape. What is certain is that Hosea fully equals Amos in genuineness and intensity of feeling, that he surpasses him in expressions of sympathy and tenderness, and that his abhorrence of falsehood and hypocrisy is a burning passion. In Amos, though the man speaks, we always hear the judging God, ready to avenge the sufferings inflicted on the meek and lowly, as infractions of his grand universal system of justice: in Hosea. through whom God alone speaks, the divine rigor is tempered by the human warmth of love and compassion.
