  9. Amos 7:12-17

Amos 7:12-17

  1. Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

  2. But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

  3. 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:

  4. And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

  5. Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

  6. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
