¹⁰ Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent word to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is unable to endure all his words. ¹¹ For thus Amos says, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword and Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.’” ¹² Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Go, you seer, flee away to the land of Judah and there eat bread and there do your prophesying! ¹³ But no longer prophesy at Bethel, for it is a sanctuary of the king and a royal^l Lit houseresidence.”	10 Ki1 12:31 Ki1 12:32 Ki1 13:33 Ki2 14:23 Ki2 14:24 Jer 26:8-11 Jer 38:4 12 Mat 8:34 13 Amo 2:12 Act 4:18 Ki1 12:29 Ki1 12:32 Amo 7:9

Moreover, Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.’”	14 Ki1 20:35 Ki2 2:3 Ki2 2:5 Ki2 4:38 Ch2 19:2 15 Jer 1:7 Eze 2:3 Eze 2:4 16 Amo 2:12 Amo 7:13 Deu 32:2 Eze 20:46 Eze 21:2 17 Hos 4:13 Hos 4:14 Jer 14:16 Ki2 17:6 Eze 4:13 Hos 9:3
