Amos 5:6

A Call to Repentance

4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
^a“Seek Me ^band live;

5 But do not seek ^aBethel,
Nor enter Gilgal,
Nor pass over to ^bBeersheba;
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
And ^cBethel shall come to nothing.

6 ^aSeek the Lord and live,
Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
And devour it,
With no one to quench it in Bethel—

7 You who ^aturn justice to wormwood,
And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!”

8 He made the ^aPleiades and Orion;
He turns the shadow of death into morning
^bAnd makes the day dark as night;
He ^ccalls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the face of the earth;
^dThe Lord is His name.

9 He¹ rains ruin upon the strong,
So that fury comes upon the fortress.
