Amos 5:3-5

The Voice

³So says the Eternal Lord:

Eternal One: The city that sent out a thousand soldiers
        will see only a hundred of them survive;
    And the town that sent out a hundred
        will see only ten remain for the house of Israel.

⁴So says the Eternal to Israel:

Eternal One: Turn back to Me and you will live. There is still time.
⁵        But don’t hang your hopes on Bethel,
    Or travel to Gilgal or Beersheba or any other sanctuary expecting help,
        because Gilgal will surely be sent into exile,
    And the shrine at Bethel will come to nothing.
