For thus says Lord Yahweh,

“The city which goes forth one thousand strong
Will have one (A)hundred left,
And the one which goes forth one hundred strong
Will have (B)ten left to the house of Israel.”

For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel,

(C)Seek Me (D)that you may live.
But do not seek (E)Bethel,
And do not come to (F)Gilgal,
Nor cross over to (G)Beersheba;
For Gilgal will certainly go into [a]exile,
And Bethel will become [b]evil.
