Amos 7:17

Verse 17 of 17. The 7th of 9 chapters in Amos, in The Minor Prophets.

13But prophesy not again any more at Beth–el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.

14Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

15And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

16Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

17Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
