10. Amaziah the priest at Bethel sent this message to King Jeroboam of Israel, “Amos is plotting against you in the very heart of Israel. Our nation cannot put up with his message for very long.
11. Here is what he is saying:‘Jeroboam will be put to death,and the people will be takento a foreign country.’ ”
12. Then Amaziah told me, “Amos, take your visions and get out! Go back to Judah and earn your living there as a prophet.
13. Don't do any more preaching at Bethel. The king worships here at our national temple.”
