* Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel , saying , Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel : the land is not able to bear all his words . * For thus Amos saith : Jeroboam shall die by the sword , and Israel shall certainly go into captivity out of his land . * And Amaziah said unto Amos , [Thou ] seer , go , flee away into the land of Judah , and eat bread there , and prophesy there . * But prophesy not again any more at Bethel ; for it is the king 's sanctuary , and it is the house of the kingdom . * And Amos answered and said to Amaziah , I was no prophet , neither was I a prophet 's son ; but I was a herdman , and a gatherer of sycamore fruit . * And Jehovah took me as I followed the flock , and Jehovah said unto me , Go , prophesy unto my people Israel . * And now hear thou the word of Jehovah : Thou sayest , Prophesy not against Israel , and utter not [words ] against the house of Isaac . * Therefore thus saith Jehovah : Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city , and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword , and thy land shall be divided with the line ; and thou shalt die in a land that is unclean ; and Israel shall certainly go into captivity , out of his land .
