Amos 7:9-16

9The 1highH1116 placesH1116 of IsaacH3327 will becomeH8074 desertedH8074, And the 2sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 will be in ruinsH2717. Then I will 3riseH6965 upH6965 againstH5921 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719.”

10Then AmaziahH558, the 4priestH3548 of BethelH1008, sentH7971 word to 5JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “AmosH5986 has 6conspiredH7194 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, “7GoH1980, you seerH2374, fleeH1272 to the landH776 of JudahH3063; and eatH398 breadH3899 thereH8033 and do your prophesyingH5012 thereH8033! 13But 8do not prophesyH5012 at BethelH1008 anyH5750 longerH3254H5750, for it is a 9sanctuaryH4720 of the kingH4428 and a royalH4467 10residenceH1004.”

14Then AmosH5986 repliedH6030 to AmaziahH558, “I am not a prophetH5030, norH3808 am I the 11sonH1121 of a prophetH5030; for I am a herdsmanH951 and a 12growerH1103 ofH1103 sycamoreH8256 figsH1103. 15But the LordH3068 tookH3947 me from 13followingH310 the flockH6629, and the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, ‘GoH1980 14prophesyH5012 to My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.’ 16So nowH6258 hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068: you are sayingH559, ‘You 15shall not prophesyH5012 againstH5921 IsraelH3478 16norH3808 shall you 17prophesyH5197 againstH5921 the houseH1004 of IsaacH3327.’
