Amos 5:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
“Seek me and live;
⁵     but do not seek Bethel,
and do not enter into Gilgal
    or cross over to Beer-sheba;
for Gilgal shall surely go into exile,
    and Bethel shall come to nought.”

⁶ Seek the Lord and live,
    lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
    and it devour, with none to quench it for Bethel,
