Amos 7:10-13 ▼

10 Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent word to Jeroboam, king of Israel: “Amos has conspired against you within the house of Israel; the country cannot endure all his words.

11 For this is what Amos says: ‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be exiled from its land.’”

12 To Amos, Amaziah said: “Off with you, seer, flee to the land of Judah and there earn your bread by prophesying!

13 But never again prophesy in Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary and a royal temple.”
