7:10 Amos and Amasiyas
10 Then Amatsyah, the priest at Beyt-El (Bethel), sent a message to Yisrael’s (Israel’s) King Yarov’am (Jeroboam), saying: “Amos has conspired against you right among the Israeli people. The country can’t handle all his messages. 11 Amos is saying that you, Yarov’am, will die by the sword and that Yisrael will definitely get taken into exile away from this land.”
12 Amatsyah ordered Amos, “Hey prophet! Go and run yourself back to the Yehudah (Judah) region, and earn your living and prophesy there. 13 But you must never again prophesy here at Beyt-El because it’s the king’s sanctuary, and it’s the royal residence.”
14 “I’m not a prophet,” Amos answered the priest. “Nor am I a prophet’s son, because I’m a herdsman, plus I take care of an orchard. 15 But Yahweh took me from looking after the flock and told me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Yisrael.’ 16 So now listen to Yahweh’s message: You say, ‘Don’t prophesy against Yisrael, and don’t speak out against Yitshak’s (Isaac’s) descendants.’ 17 Therefore this is what Yahweh says:
Your wife will become a prostitute in the city.
Your sons and daughters will die by the sword.
Your property will be measured and divided up.
You’ll die in a foreign, heathen country,
and Yisrael will certainly be taken into exile from its land.”
