10 Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent this message to King Jeroboam of Israel: |Amos is conspiring against you in the very heart of the kingdom of Israel! The land cannot endure all his prophecies. 11 As a matter of fact, Amos is saying this: 'Jeroboam will die by the sword and Israel will certainly be carried into exile away from its land.'| 12 Amaziah then said to Amos, |Leave, you visionary! Run away to the land of Judah! Earn your living and prophesy there! 13 Don't prophesy at Bethel any longer, for a royal temple and palace are here!| Amos 7:10-13, New English Translation.
