તેથી ઈશ્વરનો રોષ તેના ઉપર સળગી ઊઠ્યો. તેમણે એક પ્રબોધકને તેની પાસે મોકલ્યો. તેણે અમાસ્યાને કહ્યું, “જે લોકોના દેવોએ પોતાના લોકોને તારા હાથમાંથી બચાવ્યા નથી તે દેવોની પૂજા તેં શા માટે કરી?”
हिन्दी2 इतिहास २५:१५
तब यहोवा का क्रोध अमस्याह पर भड़क उठा और उसने उसके पास एक नबी भेजा जिसने उससे कहा, “जो देवता अपने लोगों को तेरे हाथ से बचा न सके, उनकी खोज में तू क्यों लगा है?”
