Amos 7:12-17
New King James Version
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos:
“Go, you seer!
Flee to the land of Judah.
There eat bread,
And there prophesy.
13 But (A)never again prophesy at Bethel,
(B)For it is the king’s [a]sanctuary,
And it is the royal [b]residence.”
14 Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah:
“I was no prophet,
Nor was I (C)a son of a prophet,
But I was a (D)sheepbreeder
And a tender of sycamore fruit.
15 Then the Lord took me [c]as I followed the flock,
And the Lord said to me,
‘Go, (E)prophesy to My people Israel.’
16 Now therefore, hear the word of the Lord:
You say, ‘Do not prophesy against Israel,
And (F)do not [d]spout against the house of Isaac.’
17 “Therefore(G) thus says the Lord:
(H)‘Your wife shall be a harlot in the city;
Your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword;
Your land shall be divided by survey line;
You shall die in a (I)defiled land;
And Israel shall surely be led away captive
From his own land.’ ”
