Amos 5:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ This is what the Lord God says to you: ‘1,000 soldiers will go out from a city to fight, but only 100 soldiers will come back. From another city, 100 soldiers will go out to fight, but only ten will come back.’

⁴ To the people of Israel's family, the Lord says, ‘Come back to me and you will live. ⁵ Do not go to Bethel, Gilgal, or Beersheba. Do not try to find me there, because I am not there. I will send enemies to destroy those places. They will take the people away as slaves.’
