“Behold, aI am setting a plumb line
In the midst of My people Israel;
bI will not pass by them anymore.
And the1 sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste.
bI will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam.”
Amaziah’s Complaint
‘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.’
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.’ ”
