Amos 7:10–13

AMAZIAH’S OPPOSITION

10 Amaziah the priestac of Bethel sent word to King Jeroboam of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against youad right here in the house of Israel. The land cannot endure all his words, 11 for Amos has said this: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will certainly go into exile from its homeland.’ ”ae

12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Go away, you seer!af Flee to the land of Judah. Earn your livingA and give your prophecies there, 13 but don’t ever prophesyag at Bethel again, for it is the king’s sanctuaryah and a royal temple.”
