8. UJehova wathi kimi: “Amose, ubonani na?”Ngathi: “Intambo yomthofu wokumisa.”Yayisithi iNkosi: “Bhekani, ngiyakubeka intambo yomthofu wokumisa phakathi kwabantu bami u-Israyeli; angisayikubadlula.
9. “Izindawo eziphakemeyo zika-Isaka ziyakuchithwa,nezindlu ezingcwele zakwa-Israyeli ziyakuqothulwa,ngivukele indlu kaJerobowamu ngenkemba.”
10. U-Amasiya umpristi waseBethele wayesethumela kuJerobowamu inkosi yakwa-Israyeli, wathi: “U-Amose ukwenzele ugobe phakathi kwendlu yakwa-Israyeli; izwe alinakuthwala onke amazwi akhe.
11. Ngokuba u-Amose ushilo kanje, wathi:“UJerobowamu uyakufa ngenkemba,u-Israyeli athunjwe nokuthunjwa ezweni lakhe.”
12. U-Amasiya wayesethi ku-Amose: “Wena mboni, hamba, ubalekele ezweni lakwaJuda, udle khona isinkwa, uprofethe khona;
13. ungabe usaqhubeka kodwa ukuprofetha eBethele, ngokuba liyindlu engcwele yenkosi nendlu yombuso.”
14. Wayesephendula u-Amose, wathi ku-Amasiya: “Angisiye umprofethi mina, nendodana yomprofethi angisiyo, kepha ngangingumalusi, ngangitshala imithombe.
