*
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel Beyth -#
El #
sent to Jeroboam king of Israel Yisra #
el #,
saying ,
Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel Yisra #
el #:
the land is not able to bear all his words .
*
For thus Amos saith ,
Jeroboam shall die by the sword ,
and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land .
*
Also Amaziah said unto Amos ,
O thou seer ,
go ,
flee thee away into the land of Judah ,
and there eat bread ,
and prophesy there :
*
But prophesy not again any more at Bethel Beyth -#
El #:
for it is the kings chapel ,
and it is the kings court .
*
Then answered Amos ,
and said to Amaziah ,
I was no prophet ,
neither was I a prophets son ;
but I was an herdman ,
and a gatherer of sycomore fruit :
*
And the LORD took me as I followed the flock tso #
n #,
and the LORD said unto me ,
Go ,
prophesy unto my people Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD :
Thou sayest ,
Prophesy not against Israel Yisra #
el #,
and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac .
*
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 .
