Amos 5:3-5

Good News Translation

³ The Sovereign Lord says, “A city in Israel sends out a thousand soldiers, but only a hundred return; another city sends out a hundred, but only ten come back.”

⁴ The Lord says to the people of Israel, “Come to me, and you will live. ⁵ Do not go to Beersheba to worship. Do not try to find me at Bethel—Bethel will come to nothing. Do not go to Gilgal—her people are doomed to exile.”
