Journey Through the Bible

Amos 7:14-17

14 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet nor a prophet’s son, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.

15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’

16 Now then, hear the word of the Lord. You say,
“‘Do not prophesy against Israel,
and stop preaching against the house of Isaac.’

17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city,
and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword.
Your land will be measured and divided up,
and you yourself will die in a pagan country.
And Israel will certainly go into exile,
away from their native land.’”
