Amos 7:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And Amos answered and said to Amasias: I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet: but I am a herdsman plucking wild figs.

¹⁵ And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel.

¹⁶ And now hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, thou shalt not prophesy against Israel, and thou shalt not drop thy word upon the house of the idol.
