Amos 7:12-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

12. Also Amatzyah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into Eretz Yehudah, and there eat lechem, and prophesy there:

13. But prophesy not again any more at Beit-El; for it is the Mikdash Melech, and it is the Bais Mamlachah.

14. Then answered Amos, and said to Amatzyah, I was no navi, neither was I a ben navi; but I was a herder, and a dresser of sycamore-fig trees;

15. And Hashem took me as I followed the tzon, and Hashem said unto me, Go, prophesy unto My people Yisroel.

16. Now therefore hear thou the Devar Hashem: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Yisroel, and drop not thy word against the Bais Yitzchak.

17. Therefore thus saith Hashem: Thy isha shall be a zonah in the city, and thy banim and thy banot shall fall by the cherev, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in an adamah temei'ah (unclean land); and Yisroel shall surely go forth of his land into golus (exile).
