Amaziah Accuses Amos
10 And Amasias the Priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam the king of Israel, saying: Amos hath rebelled against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will not be able to sustain all his words.📜💬📚
11 For thus saith Amos: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall depart captive out of their land.📜💬📚
12 And Amasias said to Amos: Thou that seest, go, fly into the land of Juda: and eat bread there, and thou shalt prophesy there.📜💬📚
13 And in Bethel thou shalt add no more to prophesy: because it is the sanctification of the king, and it is the house of the kingdom.📜💬📚
14 And Amos answered, and said to Amasias: I am not a Prophet and I am not the son of a Prophet: but an herdsman am I plucking sycamores.📜💬📚
15 And our Lord took me when I followed the flock, and our Lord said to me: Go, Prophesy to my people Israel.📜💬📚
16 And now hear the word of our Lord: Thou sayest: Thou shalt not prophesy upon Israel, and thou shalt not distill upon the house of the idol.📜💬📚
17 Therefore thus saith our Lord: Thy wife shall fornicate in the city, and thy sons, and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy ground shall be measured with a cord, and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall depart captive out of their land.📜💬📚
