Amos 5:5-7

Revised Standard Version

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.”

⁶Seek 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,
⁷O you who turn justice to wormwood,
    and cast down righteousness to the earth!
