Amos 5:5-7
English Standard Version Anglicised
5 but do not seek (A)Bethel,
and do not enter into (B)Gilgal
or cross over to (C)Beersheba;
for (D)Gilgal shall surely go into exile,
and (E)Bethel shall come to nothing.”
6 (F)Seek the Lord and live,
(G)lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
and it devour, with none to quench it for (H)Bethel,
7 O (I)you who turn justice to wormwood[a]
and cast down righteousness to the earth!
