13 And in Bethel, do not prophesy any longer, because it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom."
14 And Amos responded, and he said to Amasias, "I am not a prophet, and I am not the son of a prophet, but I am a herdsman plucking from wild fig trees.
15 And the Lord took me, when I was following the flock, and the Lord said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.' "
16 And now, hear the word of the Lord: You say, "You will not prophesy about Israel, and you will not rain your words upon the house of the idol."
17 Because of that, the Lord says this: "Your wife will fornicate in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, and your soil will be measured with a string. And you will die on polluted land, and Israel will be taken into captivity out of their land."
