Amos 7:10-17

10Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of BethelH1008 sentH7971 word toH413 JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “AmosH5986 has conspiredH7194 against youH5921 in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. The landH776 cannotH3808 H3201 bearH3557 allH3605 his wordsH1697, 11forH3588 this is whatH3541 AmosH5986 has saidH559:

‘JeroboamH3379 will dieH4191 by the swordH2719,and IsraelH3478 will surely go into exileH1540,away fromH5921 their homelandH127.’”

12And AmaziahH558 saidH559 toH413 AmosH5986, “Go awayH1980, you seerH2374! FleeH1272 toH413 the landH776 of JudahH3063; earn your breadH398 H3899 thereH8033 and do your prophesyingH5012 thereH8033. 13But neverH3808 prophesyH5012 at BethelH1008 againH3254 H5750, becauseH3588 itH1931 is the sanctuaryH4720 of the kingH4428 and the templeH1004 of the kingdomH4467 .”

14“IH595 H3808 was notH3808 1 a prophetH5030,” AmosH5986 repliedH6030 , “nor was I the sonH1121 2 of a prophetH5030; ratherH3588, IH595 was a herdsmanH951 and a tenderH1103 of sycamore-fig treesH8256. 15But the LORDH3068 took meH3947 from followingH310 the flockH6629 and saidH559 to meH413 H3068, ‘GoH1980, prophesyH5012 toH413 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.’

16Now, thereforeH6258, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. YouH859 sayH559:

‘Do notH3808 prophesyH5012 againstH5921 IsraelH3478;do notH3808 preachH5197 againstH5921 the houseH1004 of IsaacH3446.’

17ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

‘Your wifeH802 will become a prostituteH2181 in the cityH5892,and your sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 will fallH5307 by the swordH2719.Your landH127 will be dividedH2505 by a measuring lineH2256,and you yourselfH859 will dieH4191 onH5921 paganH2931 3 soilH127.And IsraelH3478 will surely go into exileH1540,away fromH5921 their homelandH127.’”
