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!| 14 Amos replied to Amaziah, |I was not a prophet by profession. No, I was a herdsman who also took care of sycamore fig trees. 15 Then the LORD took me from tending flocks and gave me this commission, 'Go! Prophesy to my people Israel!'
