Amos 7:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out of Israel, you prophet! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your living there. Do your prophesying there. ¹³ Don’t prophesy here at Bethel anymore. This is where the king worships. The main temple in the kingdom is located here.”

¹⁴ Amos answered Amaziah, “I was not a prophet. I wasn’t even the son of a prophet. I was a shepherd. I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.
