Amos 7:16

Amaziah's Opposition

¹⁵ But the Lord took me from following the flock and the Lord said to me, ‘Go prophesy to My people Israel.’ ¹⁶ Now hear the word of the Lord: you are saying, ‘You shall not prophesy against Israel nor shall you speak against the house of Isaac.’ ¹⁷ Therefore, thus says the Lord, ‘Your wife will become a harlot in the city, your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be parceled up by a measuring line and you yourself will die upon unclean soil. Moreover, Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.’”
