Amos 7:9-16
9The high placesH1116 of IsaacH3446 will be desertedH8074, and the sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 will be laid wasteH2717; and I will rise upH6965 againstH5921 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with My swordH2719.”
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 cannotH3808H3201 bearH3557 allH3605 his wordsH1697, 11forH3588 this is whatH3541 AmosH5986 has saidH559:
12And AmaziahH558 saidH559 toH413 AmosH5986, “Go awayH1980, you seerH2374! FleeH1272 toH413 the landH776 of JudahH3063; earn your breadH398H3899 thereH8033 and do your prophesyingH5012 thereH8033. 13But neverH3808 prophesyH5012 at BethelH1008 againH3254H5750, becauseH3588 itH1931 is the sanctuaryH4720 of the kingH4428 and the templeH1004 of the kingdomH4467.”
14“IH595H3808 was notH38081 a prophetH5030,” AmosH5986 repliedH6030, “nor was I the sonH11212 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 meH413H3068, ‘GoH1980, prophesyH5012 toH413 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.’
16Now, thereforeH6258, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. YouH859 sayH559:
