Amos 5:3-5
Expanded Bible
3 This is what the Lord God says:
“If a thousand soldiers leave a city,
only a hundred will ·return [or remain];
if a hundred soldiers leave a city,
only ten will ·return [or remain].”
4 This is what the Lord says to the ·nation [L house] of Israel:
“·Come to [Seek] me and live.
5 But do not ·look in [seek] Bethel [C ironic, since Bethel means “house of God”; 4:4]
or go to Gilgal,
and do not go down to Beersheba [C important centers of worship in Israel; 4:4].
The people of Gilgal will ·be taken away as captives [surely go into exile],
and Bethel will become nothing.”
