Amos 7:12-15
King James Version
12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
15 And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

Amos 7:12-15
New International Version
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer!(A) Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.(B) 13 Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel,(C) because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple(D) of the kingdom.(E)”
14 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet(F) nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.(G) 15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock(H) and said to me, ‘Go,(I) prophesy(J) to my people Israel.’(K)
