Amos 7

14 So Amos answered Amaziah, "I was  * 7:14 Or am not a prophet or the son of a prophet;  * 7:14 = a prophet’s disciple or a member of a prophetic guild,* 7:14 2Kg 2:3; 4:38; 2Ch 19:2 rather, I was  * 7:14 Or am a herdsman,  * 7:14 Am 1:1 and I took care of sycamore figs. 15 But the Lord took me from following the flock  * 7:15 2Sm 7:8 and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ "  * 7:15 Jr 1:7; Ezk 2:3–4
