And Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: “Amos has rebelled against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to withstand all his sermons. |
| 7:11 |
For Amos says this: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be taken captive out of their own land.’ ” |
| 7:12 |
And Amaziah said to Amos, “You, seer, go out and flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there. |
| 7:13 |
And in Bethel, do not prophesy any longer, because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.” |
| 7:14 |
And Amos responded, and he said to Amasias, “I am not a prophet, and I am not the son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman plucking from wild fig trees. |
| 7:15 |
And the Lord took me, when I was following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ ” |
| 7:16 |
And now, hear the word of the Lord: You say, “You will not prophesy about Israel, and you will not rain your words upon the house of the idol.” |
| 7:17 |
Because of that, the Lord says this: “Your wife will fornicate in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, and your soil will be measured with a string. And you will die on polluted land, and Israel will be taken into captivity out of their land.” |
