Amos 7:12-17

12Then AmaziahH558 saidH559 to AmosH5986, “1GoH1980, you seerH2374, fleeH1272 away to the landH776 of JudahH3063 and thereH8033 eatH398 breadH3899 and thereH8033 do your prophesyingH5012! 13But 2noH3808 longerH3254H5750 prophesyH5012 at BethelH1008, for it is a 3sanctuaryH4720 of the kingH4428 and a royalH4467 4residenceH1004.”

14Then AmosH5986 repliedH6030 to AmaziahH558, “I am not a prophetH5030, norH3808 am I the 5sonH1121 of a prophetH5030; for I am a herdsmanH951 and a 6growerH1103 of sycamoreH8256 figsH1103. 15But the LordH3068 tookH3947 me from 7followingH310 the flockH6629 and the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, ‘GoH1980 8prophesyH5012 to My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.’ 16NowH6258 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068: you are sayingH559, ‘You 9shall not prophesyH5012 againstH5921 IsraelH3478 10norH3808 shall you 11speakH5197 againstH5921 the houseH1004 of IsaacH3327.’ 17ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘Your 12wifeH802 will becomeH2181 a harlotH2181 in the cityH5892, your 13sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 will fallH5307 by the swordH2719, your landH127 will be parceledH2505 up by a measuring lineH2256 and you yourselfH859 will dieH4191 14upon 15uncleanH2931 soilH127. Moreover, IsraelH3478 will certainlyH1540 goH1540 from its landH127 into exileH1540.’”
