Amos 7:15-17

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵But the Lord took me from following the flock^(A) and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’”^(B)

¹⁶Now hear the word of the Lord. You say:

Do not prophesy^(C) against Israel;
do not preach^(D) against the house of Isaac.

¹⁷Therefore, this is what the Lord says:

Your wife will be a prostitute in the city,^(E)
your sons and daughters will fall by the sword,^(F)
and your land will be divided up
with a measuring line.
You yourself will die on pagan^[a] soil,^(G)
and Israel will certainly go into exile^(H)
from its homeland.
