Amos 5:5-7
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
5 but do not seek Bethel,
and do not enter into Gilgal
or cross over to Beer-sheba;
for Gilgal shall surely go into exile,
and Bethel shall come to nought.”
6 Seek the Lord and live,
lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
and it devour, with none to quench it for Bethel,
7 O you who turn justice to wormwood,
and cast down righteousness to the earth!
Amos 5:5-7
New International Version

do not go to Gilgal,(A)
do not journey to Beersheba.(B)
For Gilgal will surely go into exile,
and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.[a](C)”
6 Seek(D) the Lord and live,(E)
or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire;(F)
it will devour them,
and Bethel(G) will have no one to quench it.(H)
