Amos 7:14-16

14Then Amos replied to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet, nor am I the 1son of a prophet; for I am a herdsman and a 2grower of sycamore figs.

15But the Lord took me from 3following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go 4prophesy to My people Israel.’

16So now hear the word of the Lord: you are saying, ‘You 5shall not prophesy against Israel 6nor shall you 7prophesy against the house of Isaac.’
