jps - Amos:7:10-17

jps@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el 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.

jps@Amos:7:11 @ For thus Amos saith: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'

jps@Amos:7:12 @ Also Amaziah said unto Amos: 'O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there;

jps@Amos:7:13 @ but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.'

jps@Amos:7:14 @ Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah: 'I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a dresser of sycamore-trees;

jps@Amos:7:15 @ and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said unto me: Go, prophesy unto My people Israel.

jps@Amos:7:16 @ Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest: Prophesy not against Israel, and preach not against the house of Isaac;

jps@Amos:7:17 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD: 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 by line; and thou thyself shalt die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'
