Amos 7:11-13
New English Translation

11 As a matter of fact,[a] Amos is saying this: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword and Israel will certainly be carried into exile[b] away from its land.’”

12 Amaziah then said to Amos, “Leave, you visionary![c] Run away to the land of Judah. Earn your living[d] and prophesy there! 13 Don’t prophesy at Bethel any longer, for a royal temple and palace are here.”[e]

  1. Amos 7:11 tn Or “for.”
  2. Amos 7:11 tn See the note on the word “exile” in 5:5.
  3. Amos 7:12 tn Traditionally, “seer.” The word is a synonym for “prophet,” though it may carry a derogatory tone on the lips of Amaziah.
  4. Amos 7:12 tn Heb “Eat bread there.”
  5. Amos 7:13 tn Heb “for it is a temple of a king and it is a royal house.” It is possible that the phrase “royal house” refers to a temple rather than a palace. See S. M. Paul, Amos (Hermeneia), 243.
