Amos 7:14LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 14 of 17

"Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I no prophet, neither I a prophet's son; but I an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:"
— Amos 7:14

In context

12Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

13But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it the king's chapel, and it the king's court.

14Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I no prophet, neither I a prophet's son; but I an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

15And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

16Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not against the house of Isaac.
