Amos 7:14-17

14Then answered AmosH5986, and saidH559 to AmaziahH558, I was no prophetH5030, neither was I a prophet’s sonH1121; but I was a herdsman, and a dresser of sycomore-trees: 15and Jehovah tookH3947 me from following the flockH6629, and Jehovah saidH559 unto me, Go, prophesyH5012 unto my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 16NowH6258 thereforeH6258 hearH8085 thou the wordH1697 of Jehovah: Thou sayest, ProphesyH5012 not against IsraelH3478, and drop not thy wordH1697 against the houseH1004 of Isaac; 17thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Thy wifeH802 shall be a harlot in the cityH5892, and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and thy landH127 shall be dividedH2505 by line; and thou thyself shalt dieH4191 in a landH127 that is uncleanH2931, and IsraelH3478 shall surely be led away captive out of his landH127.
