For thus says the Lord God:

“The city that went out a thousand
    shall have a hundred left,
and that which went out a hundred
    shall have ten left
    to the house of Israel.”

For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:

(A)“Seek me and live;
    but do not seek (B)Bethel,
and do not enter into (C)Gilgal
    or cross over to (D)Beersheba;
for (E)Gilgal shall surely go into exile,
    and (F)Bethel shall come to nothing.”

    will have only ten left.(A)

“Seek(B) me and live;(C)

    and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.[a](F)
