Amos 7:12-17

12Also AmaziahH558 saidH559 to AmosH5986, O thou seerH2374, goH3212, flee thee awayH1272 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and there eatH398 breadH3899, and prophesyH5012 there: 13But prophesyH5012 not againH3254 any more at BethelH1008: for it is the king’sH4428 sanctuaryH4720, and it is the king’sH4467 courtH1004.12 14Then answeredH6030 AmosH5986, and saidH559 to AmaziahH558, I was no prophetH5030, neither was I a prophet’sH5030 sonH1121; but I was an herdmanH951, and a gathererH1103 of sycamore fruitH8256:3 15And the LORDH3068 tookH3947 me as I followedH310 the flockH6629, and the LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, GoH3212, prophesyH5012 to my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.4 16Now therefore hearH8085 thou the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: Thou sayestH559, ProphesyH5012 not against IsraelH3478, and dropH5197 not thy word against the houseH1004 of IsaacH3446. 17Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Thy wifeH802 shall be an harlotH2181 in the cityH5892, and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and thy landH127 shall be dividedH2505 by lineH2256; and thou shalt dieH4191 inH5921 a pollutedH2931 landH127: and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540 go from his landH127 into captivityH1540.
