Amos 7:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³ But don’t prophesy anymore here at Bethel. This is Jeroboam’s holy place. This is Israel’s temple.”

¹⁴ Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I am not a professional prophet, and I am not from a prophet’s family. I raise cattle and take care of sycamore trees. ¹⁵ I was a shepherd and the Lord took me from following the sheep. The Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’
