Amos 5:3-5

Living Bible

³ For the Lord God says, “The city that sends a thousand men to battle, a hundred will return. The city that sends a hundred, only ten will come back alive.”

⁴ The Lord says to the people of Israel, “Seek me—and live. ⁵ Don’t seek the idols of Bethel, Gilgal, or Beersheba; for the people of Gilgal will be carried off to exile, and those of Bethel shall surely come to grief.”
