Amos 7:14-16

Evangelical Heritage Version

I was not a prophet, nor was I a son of a prophet. Rather, I was a sheep breeder and I took care of sycamore fig trees. ¹⁵ But the Lord took me from tending flocks, and the Lord said to me, “Go, prophesy to my people Israel.”

¹⁶ But now, hear the word of the Lord, you who are saying, “Do not prophesy against Israel” and “Do not preach^[a] against the house of Isaac.”
