Amos 7:10-15
10Then Amaziah, the priest at Bethel, sent a message to King Jeroboam of Israel. It read, “Amos is plotting against you among the people of Israel. The country isn’t able to endure everything he is saying.
11Amos says that Jeroboam will be killed with a sword and that Israel cannot avoid being taken from its land into exile.”
12Then Amaziah said to Amos, “You seer, run away to Judah! Eat there, and prophesy there!
13But don’t ⌞ever⌟ prophesy again in Bethel, because this is the king’s holy place and the king’s palace.”
14Amos responded, “I’m not a prophet, and I’m not a disciple of the prophets. I am a rancher and a grower of figs.
15But the Lord took me away from herding the flock and said to me, ‘Prophesy to my people Israel.’
