Amos 7:14-16

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ Then Amos said to Amaziah, I was no prophet [by profession]! Neither was I a prophet’s son; [but I had my occupation] I was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore trees and a gatherer of sycamore figs.

¹⁵ And the Lord took me as I followed the flock and the Lord said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel.

¹⁶ Now therefore listen to the word of the Lord: You say, Do not prophesy against Israel and drop no statements not complimentary to the house of Isaac.
