Amos 7:12-17

12Then Amaziah said to Amos, “1Go, you seer, flee away to the land of Judah and there eat bread and there do your prophesying! 13But 2no longer prophesy at Bethel, for it is a 3sanctuary of the king and a royal 4residence.”

14Then Amos replied to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet, nor am I the 5son of a prophet; for I am a herdsman and a 6grower of sycamore figs. 15But the Lord took me from 7following the flock and the Lord said to me, ‘Go 8prophesy to My people Israel.’ 16Now hear the word of the Lord: you are saying, ‘You 9shall not prophesy against Israel 10nor shall you 11speak against the house of Isaac.’ 17Therefore, thus says the Lord, ‘Your 12wife will become a harlot in the city, your 13sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be parceled up by a measuring line and you yourself will die 14upon 15unclean soil. Moreover, Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.’”
