Amos 5:3-5
New International Version - UK
3 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel:
‘Your city that marches out a thousand strong
will have only a hundred left;
your town that marches out a hundred strong
will have only ten left.’
4 This is what the Lord says to Israel:
‘Seek me and live;
5 do not seek Bethel,
do not go to Gilgal,
do not journey to Beersheba.
For Gilgal will surely go into exile,
and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.’[a]
