Amos 7:14 in Context — Amos 7

12 Depois Amazias disse a Amós: Vidente, vai embora, e foge para a terra de Judá, e ali come o teu pão, e ali profetiza;

13 Porém não profetizes mais em Betel, porque ali estão o santuário do rei, e o palácio real.

14 Então Amós respondeu a Amazias: Eu não era profeta, nem filho de profeta; mas eu era criador de gado, e colhedor de frutos de sicômoros.

15 Porém o SENHOR me tomou do trabalho com o gado, e o SENHOR me disse: Vai, e profetiza a meu povo Israel.

16 Agora pois, ouve a palavra do SENHOR. Tu dizes: Não profetizes contra Israel, nem fales contra a casa de Isaque.
