Amos 7:13-15

New Century Version

¹³ but don’t prophesy anymore here at Bethel. This is the king’s holy place, and it is the nation’s temple.”

¹⁴ Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I do not make my living as a prophet, nor am I a member of a group of prophets. I make my living as a shepherd, and I take care of sycamore trees. ¹⁵ But the Lord took me away from tending the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’
