Then Amatsyah the priest of Beyth El sent to Yarob`am sovereign of Yisra`el, saying, `Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Yisra`el. The land is not able to endure all his words,
11.
for this is what Amos said, 'Yarob'am shall die by the sword, and Yisra'el certainly be exiled from their own land.''

And Amatsyah said to Amos, 'Go, you seer! Flee to the land of Yehudah, and eat bread and prophesy there,
13.
but do not prophesy any more at Beyth El, for it is the sovereign's set-apart place and it is the house of the reign.'

'Therefore thus said YHWH, 'Your wife shall become a whore in the city, and your sons and daughters fall by the sword, and your land be divided by a measuring line, and you die in a defiled land, and Yisra'el shall certainly be exiled from its land.''
