Amos 7:12-17

CAB(i) 12 And Amaziah said to Amos, Go, seer, remove yourself to the land of Judah, and live there, and you shall prophesy there: 13 but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel — for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house. 14 And Amos answered, and said to Amaziah, I was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but I was a sheepbreeder, and a gatherer of sycamore fruits. 15 And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to My people Israel. 16 And now hear the word of the Lord: You say, Do not prophesy to Israel, and do not raise a tumult against the house of Jacob. 17 Therefore thus says the Lord; Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be measured with the line; and you shall die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God showed me.
