‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
And Israel shall surely be led away acaptive
From their own land.’ ”
“Go, you seer!
Flee to the land of Judah.
There eat bread,
And there prophesy.
bFor it is the king’s1 sanctuary,
And it is the royal1 residence.”
“I was no prophet,
Nor was I aa son of a prophet,
But I was a bsheepbreeder
And a tender of sycamore fruit.
And the Lord said to me,
‘Go, aprophesy to My people Israel.’

Amos 7:13
But prophesy not - at Beth-el - He must not speak against idolatry, because that was the king' s religion; and he who speaks against the king' s religion must be an enemy to the state. This was the doctrine held in England by popish James 2 and his insidious Jesuit hireling priests, till God in his mercy put this pitiful tyrant down, and with him his false prophets, and the degrading superstition which they endeavored to establish in these lands.
