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]

- Amos 7:11 tn Or “for.”
- Amos 7:11 tn See the note on the word “exile” in 5:5.
- 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.
- Amos 7:12 tn Heb “Eat bread there.”
- 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.

Amos 7:11-13
New International Version
11 For this is what Amos is saying:
“‘Jeroboam will die by the sword,
and Israel will surely go into exile,(A)
away from their native land.’”(B)
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer!(C) Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.(D) 13 Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel,(E) because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple(F) of the kingdom.(G)”
