And Amaziah said to Amos, "Go away, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah; earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. Context 12Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Go, you seer, flee away to the land of Judah and there eat bread and there do your prophesying! 13“But 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. 15“But the LORD took me from following the flock and the LORD said to me, ‘Go prophesy to My people Israel.’ 16“Now hear the word of the LORD: you are saying, ‘You shall not prophesy against Israel nor shall you speak against the house of Isaac.’ 17“Therefore, 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.’” Links Amos 7:12 NIVAmos 7:12 NLT Amos 7:12 ESV Amos 7:12 NASB Amos 7:12 KJV Amos 7:12 Commentaries Bible Hub |
