A

Explanation

Amaziah, the Priest of Bethel, then sent a report to King Jeroboam of Israel. Amos is plotting against you among the people. His speeches will destroy the country. This is what he says, Jeroboam will die in battle, and the people of Israel will be taken away from their land into exile. Amaziah, then said to Amos, that's enough, prophet. Goon back to Judah and do your preaching there. Let them pay you for it. Don't prophesy here at Bethel any more. This is the King's place of worship, the national temple. Amos answered I am not the kind of prophet who prophesies for pay. Amos 7:10-17
