Don't prophesy anymore at Bethel, because it's the king's sanctuary and a temple of the kingdom." Amos replied in answer to Amaziah, "I am no prophet, nor am I a prophet's son, for I have been shepherding and picking the fruit of sycamore trees. But the LORD took me from tending the flock and the LORD kept saying to me, "Go, prophesy to my people Israel.' "Very well then, hear this message from the LORD: "You are saying, "Don't prophesy against Israel, and don't preach against the house of Isaac." "Therefore this is what the LORD says: "Your wife will become a whore in the city, and your sons and daughters will die by the sword. Your land will be divided and apportioned, and you will die in a foreign land. Israel will surely go into exile, far from its homeland."'"

He drove out nations before them and allotted their tribal inheritance, settling the tribes of Israel in their tents.
