SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:13

y no profetices más en Bet-el, porque es santuario del rey, y cabecera del reino.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Amos 7:13

Verse 13. But prophesy not-at
Beth-el] He must not speak against idolatry, because that was the king's religion; and he who speaks against the king's religion must be an enemy to the state. This was the doctrine held in England by popish James ii. and his insidious Jesuit hireling priests, till God in his mercy put this pitiful tyrant down, and with him his false prophets, and the degrading superstition which they endeavoured to establish in these lands.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. But prophesy not again any more at Bethel , etc.] He might prophesy any where, if he did not there, for what the
priest cared, that so his honour and interest were not hurt. The reasons he gave were, for it [is] the king’s chapel ; or “sanctuary” f201 ; where a temple was built for the idol calf, and where the king worshipped it, and attended all other religious service: and it [is] the king’s court ; or “the house of the kingdom” f202 ; the seat of it, where the king had a royal palace, and sometimes resided here, and kept his court, as well as at Samaria; often coming hither to worship, it being nearer to him than Dan, where the other calf was placed; intimating hereby that the king would never suffer such a troublesome man as he to be so near him; and by prophesying to interrupt him, either in his religious or civil affairs; and therefore advises him by all means to depart, if he had any regard to his life or peace.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-17 - It is no new thing for the accusers of the
brethren, to misrepresen them as enemies to the king and kingdom, as traitors to their prince and troublers of the land, when they are the best friends to both Those who make gain their godliness, and are governed by the hopes of wealth and preferment, are ready to think these the most powerfu motives with others also. But those who have a warrant from God, lik Amos, ought not to fear the face of man. If God, that sent him, had no strengthened him, he could not thus have set his face as a flint. The Lord often chooses the weak and foolish things of the world to confoun the wise and mighty. But no fervent prayers, or self-denying labours can bring proud sinners to bear faithful reproofs and warnings. And all who oppose or despise the Divine word, must expect fatal effects to their souls, unless they repent __________________________________________________________________
