Amos 7:14 in Context — Amos 7

12 Et Amatsia dit à Amos: Homme à visions, va-t-en, fuis dans le pays de Juda; manges-y ton pain, et là tu prophétiseras.

13 Mais ne continue pas à prophétiser à Béthel, car c’est un sanctuaire du roi, et c’est une maison royale.

14 Amos répondit à Amatsia: Je ne suis ni prophète, ni fils de prophète; mais je suis berger, et je cultive des sycomores.

15 L’Éternel m’a pris derrière le troupeau, et l’Éternel m’a dit: Va, prophétise à mon peuple d’Israël.

16 Écoute maintenant la parole de l’Éternel, toi qui dis: Ne prophétise pas contre Israël, et ne parle pas contre la maison d’Isaac.
