Amos 7:10-13 ▼

10 So Amaziah priest of Bethel sent a message to Jeroboam king of Israel. It said, |Amos has been conspiring against you in the very heart of the house of Israel! The land cannot bear everything he has to say,

11 because Amos is saying this: 'By the sword will Jeroboam die, and Israel will surely go into exile far from her homeland.'|

12 So Amaziah kept saying to Amos, |Get out of here, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Live there and prophesy there.

13 Don't prophesy anymore at Bethel, because it's the king's sanctuary and a temple of the kingdom.|
