Amos and Amasiyas

Amos 7:10–17

10Then Amatsyah, the priest at Beyt-El (Bethel), sent a message to Yisrael’s King Yaraveam, saying: “Amos has conspired against you right among the Israeli people. The country can’t handle all his messages. 11Amos is saying that you, Yaraveam will die by the sword and and that Israel will definitely get taken into exile away from this land.”

12Amatsyah ordered Amos, “Hey prophet! Go and run yourself back to the Yehudah region, and earn your living and prophesy there. 13But you must never again prophesy here at Beyt-El because it’s the king’s sanctuary, and it’s the royal residence.”

14“I am 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. 15But Yahweh took me from looking after the flock and told me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ 16So now listen to Yahweh’s message: You say, ‘Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t speak out against Yitsak’s descendants.’ 17Therefore 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 Israel will certainly be taken into exile from its land.”
