“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.’
You say, ‘Do not prophesy against Israel,
And ado not spout against the house of Isaac.’
b‘Your wife shall be a harlot in the city;
Your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword;
Your land shall be divided by survey line;
You shall die in a cdefiled land;
And Israel shall surely be led away captive
From his own land.’ ”

Amos 7:14
I was no prophet - I am an extraordinary messenger of God. I am not called to the prophetic office but for this occasion. I have no message to Judah, and therefore need not go there. I have a message to Israel alone, and I must faithfully deliver it.
For the account which Amos gives here of himself, see the introduction.
