Amos 7:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Also [a]Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou the Seer, go, flee thou away into the land of Judah, and there eat thy bread, and prophesy there.
13 But prophesy no more at Bethel: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no [b]Prophet, neither was I a Prophet’s son, but I was an herdsman, and a gatherer of wild figs.
