Amos 7:13-15

New International Reader's Version

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. ¹⁵ But the Lord took me away from taking care of the flock. He said to me, ‘Go. Prophesy to my people Israel.’
