Amos 5:5-6
5:5 Do not seek Bethel!<sup> </sup>Do not visit Gilgal! Do not journey down<sup style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; color: inherit;”> </sup>to Beer Sheba!
For the people of Gilgal<sup> </sup>will certainly be carried into exile;<sup> </sup>and Bethel will become a place where disaster abounds.<sup style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; color: inherit;”> </sup>
5:6 Seek the Lord so you can live! Otherwise he will break out<sup style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; color: inherit;”> </sup>like fire against Joseph’s<sup style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; color: inherit;”> </sup>family;<sup style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; color: inherit;”> </sup>
