Amos 7:9-16

9and the highH1116 placesH1116 of IsaacH3446 shall be desolateH8074, and the sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 shall be laid waste; and I will riseH6965 against the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719.

10Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of Beth-el sentH7971 to JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, AmosH5986 hath conspired against thee in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: the landH776 is not ableH3201 to bear all his wordsH1697. 11For thusH3541 AmosH5986 saith, JeroboamH3379 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and IsraelH3478 shall surely be led away captive out of his landH127. 12Also AmaziahH558 saidH559 unto AmosH5986, O thou seerH2374, go, fleeH1272 thou awayH1272 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and there eatH398 breadH3899, and prophesyH5012 there: 13but prophesyH5012 not againH5750 any more at Beth-el; for it is the king’sH4428 sanctuaryH4720, and it is a royal houseH1004.

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;
