Amos 5:3-7 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. For the Lord God says:The city that marches out a thousand strongwill have only a hundred left, and the one that marches out a hundred strongwill have only ten left in the house of Israel.

4. For the Lord says to the house of Israel:Seek Me and live!

5. Do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal or journey to Beer-sheba, for Gilgal will certainly go into exile,and Bethel will come to nothing.

6. Seek Yahweh and live,or He will spread like fire throughout the house of Joseph;it will consume everything,with no one at Bethel to extinguish it.

7. Those who turn justice into wormwood throw righteousness to the ground.
