Amos 7:10-17

10Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of Bethel 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 certainly goH1540 into captivity out of his landH127. 12And AmaziahH558 saidH559 unto AmosH5986, [Thou] seerH2374, go, fleeH1272 awayH1272 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and eatH398 breadH3899 there, and prophesyH5012 there. 13But prophesyH5012 not againH5750 any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuaryH4720, and it is the houseH1004 of the kingdomH4467. 14And AmosH5986 answered and saidH559 to AmaziahH558, I was no prophetH5030, neither was I a prophet's sonH1121; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit. 15And Jehovah tookH3947 me as I followed the flockH6629, and Jehovah saidH559 unto me, Go, prophesyH5012 unto my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 16And nowH6258 hearH8085 thou the wordH1697 of Jehovah: Thou sayest, ProphesyH5012 not against IsraelH3478, and utter not [wordsH1697] against the houseH1004 of Isaac. 17ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Thy wifeH802 shall be a harlot in the cityH5892, and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and thy landH127 shall be dividedH2505 with the line; and thou shalt dieH4191 in a landH127 that is uncleanH2931; and IsraelH3478 shall certainlyH1540 goH1540 into captivity, out of his landH127.
