7 These things the Lord revealed to me. And behold, the Lord was standing near a plastered wall, and in his hand was a mason's trowel.
8 And the Lord said to me, 'What do you see, Amos?' And I said, 'A mason's trowel.' And the Lord said, 'Behold, I will place the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will no longer plaster over them.
9 And the heights of the idol will be demolished, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be desolate. And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.'
10 And Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: 'Amos has rebelled against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to withstand all his sermons.
11 For Amos says this: 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be taken captive out of their own land.' '
