Amos 7:10-13 ▼

10 Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent word to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “ Amos has conspired against you right here in the house of Israel. The land cannot endure all his words,

11 for Amos has said this: ‘ Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will certainly go into exile from its homeland.’ ”

12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “ Go away, you seer! Flee to the land of Judah. Earn your living and give your prophecies there,

13 but don’t ever prophesy at Bethel again , for it is the king’s sanctuary and a royal temple.”
