Amos 5:5 Context
3For thus saith the Lord God, The citie that went out by a thousand, shall leaue an hundred, and that which went foorth by an hundred, shall leaue ten to the house of Israel. 4¶ For thus saith the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seeke ye mee, and ye shall liue. 5But seeke not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal and passe not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely goe into captiuitie, and Bethel shal come to nought. 6Seeke the Lord, and ye shall liue, lest hee breake out like fire in the house of Ioseph and deuoure it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel, 7Ye who turne iudgment to wormwood, and leaue off righteousnesse in the earth:
