Amos 5:6

A Lament And Call To Repentance

⁵ But do not seek Bethel or go [to] Gilgal or cross over to Beersheba, for Gilgal will certainly go into exile and Bethel will come to disaster." ⁶ Seek Yahweh so that you may live, so that he will not break out like a fire [against] the house of Joseph! And it will devour, {with none to quench} [it] for Bethel. ⁷ [Ah,] you who turn justice into wormwood and hurl righteousness to the ground!
