Amos 7:13-17 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

13. but don’t prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house!”

14. Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;

15. and the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’

16. Now therefore listen to the Lord’s word: ‘You say, Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t proclaim against the house of Isaac.’

17. Therefore the Lord says: ‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”
