Amos 7:13-15

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹³ But do not prophesy any more at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary and a seat of his kingdom.^(A)

¹⁴ Then Amos said to Amaziah, I was no prophet [by profession]! Neither was I a prophet’s son; [but I had my occupation] I was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore trees and a gatherer of sycamore figs.

¹⁵ And the Lord took me as I followed the flock and the Lord said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel.
