Amos 7:9-16

9And the high places of Isaac shall be desolated, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will arise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

10Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

11For thus Amos saith: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall certainly go into captivity out of his land.

12And Amaziah said unto Amos, [Thou] seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there.

13But prophesy not again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.

14And Amos answered and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit.

15And Jehovah took me as I followed the flock, and Jehovah said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

16And now hear thou the word of Jehovah: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and utter not [words] against the house of Isaac.
