"but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house. "
— Amos 7:13, American Standard Version
“But prophesy not again any more at Beth–el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.”
“but don't prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house!"”
“Don’t prophesy at Bethel any longer, for a royal temple and palace are here!””
“But prophesy not again any more in Bethel: because it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.”
“But be a prophet no longer at Beth-el: for it is the holy place of the king, and the king's house.”
“But prophesy not again any more at Beth–el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.”
