Amos 7:9-16

9And the high placesH1116 of IsaacH3446 shall be desolateH8074, and the sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 shall be laid wasteH2717; and I will riseH6965 against the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719.

10Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of BethelH1008 sentH7971 to JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, AmosH5986 hath conspiredH7194 against thee in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: the landH776 is not ableH3201 to bearH3557 all his wordsH1697. 11For thus AmosH5986 saithH559, JeroboamH3379 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540 be led away captiveH1540 out of their own landH127. 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.
