10. Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent word to Jeroboam, king of Israel: “Amos has conspired against you within the house of Israel; the country cannot endure all his words.
11. For this is what Amos says:‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword,and Israel shall surely be exiled from its land.’”
12. To Amos, Amaziah said: “Off with you, seer, flee to the land of Judah and there earn your bread by prophesying!
13. But never again prophesy in Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary and a royal temple.”
