The people who live in Samaria are filled with fear. They are afraid for their god that looks like a calf. They’re afraid it will be carried off from Beth Aven, that evil town. They will mourn over it. So will the priests who led them to worship it. The priests were full of joy because their statue was so glorious. But it will be captured and taken far away from them.

Samaria’s king will be destroyed. He will be like a twig swept away by a river.

Then they’ll say,“ We don’t have a king. That’s because we didn’t have any respect for the Lord. But suppose we did have a king. What could he do for us?”

“ The high places where Isaac’s people worship other gods will be destroyed. The other places of worship in Israel will also be torn down. I will use my sword to attack Jeroboam’s royal family.”Amaziah was priest of Bethel. He sent a message to Jeroboam, the king of Israel. He said,“ Amos is making evil plans against you right here in Israel. The people in the land can’t stand to listen to what he’s saying.Amos is telling them,“‘ Jeroboam will be killed by a sword. The people of Israel will be taken away as prisoners. They will be carried off from their own land.’ ”Then Amaziah said to Amos,“ Get out of Israel, you prophet! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your living there. Do your prophesying there.Don’t prophesy here at Bethel anymore. This is where the king worships. The main temple in the kingdom is located here.”Amos answered Amaziah,“ I was not a prophet. I wasn’t even the son of a prophet. I was a shepherd. I also took care of sycamore- fig trees.But the Lord took me away from taking care of the flock. He said to me,‘ Go. Prophesy to my people Israel.’Now then, listen to the Lord’ s message. You say,“‘ Don’t prophesy against Israel. Stop preaching against the people of Isaac.’“ But the Lord says,“‘ Your wife will become a prostitute in the city of Bethel. Your sons and daughters will be killed by swords. Your land will be measured and divided up. And you yourself will die in another country. The people of Israel will surely be taken away as prisoners. They will be carried off from their own land.’ ”
