Amos 7:12-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² And Amasias said to Amos: Thou seer, go, flee away into the land of Juda: and eat bread there, and prophesy there.

¹³ But prophesy not again any more in Bethel: because it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.

¹⁴ And Amos answered and said to Amasias: I am not a prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet: but I am a herdsman plucking wild figs.

¹⁵ And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel.
