 Amaziah said to Amos, O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah and eat bread there. Prophesy there, but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it's the king's sanctuary and it's the temple of the kingdom. Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet nor a prophet's son, but I was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs.
