Amos 7:13-15

New International Version - UK

¹³ Don’t prophesy any more at Bethel, because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom.’

¹⁴ Amos answered Amaziah, ‘I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. ¹⁵ But the Lord took me from tending the flock and said to me, “Go, prophesy to my people Israel.”
