Amos 7:10-15
10Then AmaziahH558, the 1priestH3548 of BethelH1008, sentH7971 word to 2JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “AmosH5986 has 3conspiredH7194 againstH5921 you in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; the landH776 isH3201 unableH3808H3201 to endureH3557 allH3605 his wordsH1697. 11For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 AmosH5986 saysH559: ‘JeroboamH3379 will dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and IsraelH3478 will certainlyH1540 goH1540 from its landH127 intoH1540 exileH1540.’” 12Then AmaziahH558 saidH559 to AmosH5986, “4GoH1980, you seerH2374, fleeH1272 to the landH776 of JudahH3063; and eatH398 breadH3899 thereH8033 and do your prophesyingH5012 thereH8033! 13But 5do not prophesyH5012 at BethelH1008 anyH5750 longerH3254H5750, for it is a 6sanctuaryH4720 of the kingH4428 and a royalH4467 7residenceH1004.”
14Then AmosH5986 repliedH6030 to AmaziahH558, “I am not a prophetH5030, norH3808 am I the 8sonH1121 of a prophetH5030; for I am a herdsmanH951 and a 9growerH1103 ofH1103 sycamoreH8256 figsH1103. 15But the LordH3068 tookH3947 me from 10followingH310 the flockH6629, and the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, ‘GoH1980 11prophesyH5012 to My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.’
