Amos 7:12-17
12And Amaziah said to Amos, “Go away, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah; earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. 13But never prophesy at Bethel again, because it is the sanctuary of the king and the temple of the kingdom.”
14“I was not1 a prophet,” Amos replied, “nor was I the son2 of a prophet; rather, I was a herdsman and a tender of sycamore-fig trees. 15But the LORD took me from following the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’
16Now, therefore, hear the word of the LORD. You say:
‘Do not prophesy against Israel;do not preach against the house of Isaac.’
17Therefore this is what the LORD says:
‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city,and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword.Your land will be divided by a measuring line,and you yourself will die on pagan3 soil.And Israel will surely go into exile,away from their homeland.’”
