Context Warning Through Visions1Thus the Lord GOD showed me, and behold, He was forming a locust-swarm when the spring crop began to sprout.

Then the Lord said, 9The high places of Isaac will be desolated Amos Accused, Answers 10Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent word to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is unable to endure all his words. 11For thus Amos says, Jeroboam will die by the sword and Israel will certainly go from its land into exile. 12Then Amaziah said to Amos, Go, you seer, flee away to the land of Judah and there eat bread and there do your prophesying! 13But no longer prophesy at Bethel, for it is a sanctuary of the king and a royal residence. 14Then Amos replied to Amaziah, I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet; for I am a herdsman and a grower of sycamore figs. 15But the LORD took me from following the flock and the LORD said to me, Go prophesy to My people Israel. 16Now hear the word of the LORD: you are saying, You shall not prophesy against Israel nor shall you speak against the house of Isaac. 17Therefore, thus says the LORD, Your wife will become a harlot in the city, your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be parceled up by a measuring line and you yourself will die upon unclean soil. Moreover, Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.

For no sin arises from one's being strengthened by God: and yet this leads one to belittle oneself, according to Prov. 30:1,2: "The vision which the man spoke, with whom is God, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said, I am the most foolish of men." Also it is written (Amos 7:14): "Amos answered . . . I am not a prophet."
