American King James Version
"And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel. ¶ "
— Amos 7:15, American King James Version
“And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.”
“and Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. ”
“and Yahweh took me from following the flock, and Yahweh said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'”
“Then the LORD took me from tending flocks and gave me this commission,‘Go! Prophesy to my people Israel!’”
“And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel.”
“And the Lord took me from the flock, and the Lord said to me, Go, be a prophet to my people Israel.”
“And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.”
Also Amaziah said to Amos, O you seer, go, flee you away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court. ¶
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdsman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel. ¶
Now therefore hear you the word of the LORD: You say, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not your word against the house of Isaac.
Therefore thus says the LORD; Your wife shall be an harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you shall die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
