Amos 7:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ I was a shepherd and the Lord took me from following the sheep. The Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ ¹⁶ So listen to the Lord’s message. You tell me, ‘Don’t prophesy against Israel. Don’t speak against Isaac’s family.’ ¹⁷ But the Lord says, ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city. Your sons and daughters will be killed with swords. Other people will take your land and divide it among themselves, and you will die in a foreign^[a] country. The people of Israel will definitely be taken from this country as prisoners.’”
