Amos 5:5

A Lament And Call To Repentance

⁴ For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel,
“Seek Me that you may live.
⁵ “But do not resort to Bethel
And do not come to Gilgal,
Nor cross over to Beersheba;

And Bethel will come to trouble.
⁶ “Seek the Lord that you may live,
Or He will break forth like a fire, O house of Joseph,
And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,
