Amos 7:13-15
International Standard Version

13 Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel, because it’s the king’s sanctuary and a temple of the kingdom.”

14 Amos replied in answer to Amaziah,

“I am no prophet,
    nor am I a prophet’s son,
for I have been shepherding
    and picking the fruit of[a] sycamore[b] trees.

15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock and the Lord kept saying to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’
