Amos 7:12-14
International Standard Version

12 So Amaziah kept saying to Amos, “Get out of here, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Live[a] there and prophesy there. 13 Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel, because it’s the king’s sanctuary and a temple of the kingdom.”

14 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[b] sycamore[c] trees.
