Seek the LORD , and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it , and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
