Amos Accused
10 Then Amaziah (A)the priest of Bethel sent to (B)Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has (C)conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words. 11 For thus Amos has said,
“‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
and (D)Israel must go into exile
away from his land.’”
12 And Amaziah said to Amos, (E)“O seer, go, flee away (F)to the land of Judah, and (G)eat bread there, and prophesy there, 13 but (H)never again prophesy at Bethel, for (I)it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.”
14 Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, (J)“I was[a] no prophet, nor a prophet's son, but (K)I was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs. 15 (L)But the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ 16 (M)Now therefore hear the word of the Lord.
17 (Q)Therefore thus says the Lord:
“‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city,
and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword,
and your land (R)shall be divided up with a measuring line;
you yourself shall die in an unclean land,
and (S)Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.’”

Joash's Treachery
20 (A)Then the Spirit of God clothed Zechariah (B)the son of Jehoiada the priest, and he stood above the people, and said to them, “Thus says God, (C)‘Why do you break the commandments of the Lord, so that you cannot prosper? (D)Because you have forsaken the Lord, he has forsaken you.’” 21 But (E)they conspired against him, (F)and by command of the king they stoned him with stones in the court of the house of the Lord. 22 Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness that Jehoiada, Zechariah's father, had shown him, but killed his son.

Jeremiah 20:7-10
English Standard Version
7 O Lord, (A)you have deceived me,
and I was deceived;
(B)you are stronger than I,
and you have prevailed.
(C)I have become a laughingstock all the day;
everyone mocks me.
8 For whenever I speak, I cry out,
I shout, (D)“Violence and destruction!”
For (E)the word of the Lord has become for me
(F)a reproach and (G)derision all day long.
9 If I say, “I will not mention him,
or speak any more in his name,”
(H)there is in my heart as it were a burning fire
shut up in my bones,
and (I)I am weary with holding it in,
and I cannot.
10 (J)For I hear many whispering.
(K)Terror is on every side!
“Denounce him! (L)Let us denounce him!”
say all my (M)close friends,
(N)watching for (O)my fall.
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then (P)we can overcome him
and take our revenge on him.”
