Amos 7:10

Amaziah's Opposition

I will rise in opposition to the house of Jeroboam with my sword." ¹⁰ So Amaziah priest of Bethel sent a message to Jeroboam king of Israel. It said, "Amos has been conspiring against you in the very heart of the house of Israel! The land cannot bear everything he has to say, ¹¹ because Amos is saying this: "By the sword will Jeroboam die, and Israel will surely go into exile far from her homeland.'"
