Amos 5:3-5
New American Standard Bible

3 For this is what the Lord [a]God says:

“The city which goes forth a thousand strong
Will have a (A)hundred left,
And the one which goes forth a hundred strong
Will have (B)ten left to the house of Israel.”

4 For this is what the Lord says to the house of Israel:

“(C)Seek Me (D)so that you may live.
5 But do not [b]resort to (E)Bethel
And do not come to (F)Gilgal,
Nor cross over to (G)Beersheba;
For Gilgal will certainly go into captivity
And Bethel will [c]come to nothing.

Amos 5:3-5
New International Version

3 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel:

“Your city that marches out a thousand strong
    will have only a hundred left;
your town that marches out a hundred strong
    will have only ten left.(A)”

4 This is what the Lord says to Israel:

“Seek(B) me and live;(C)
5     do not seek Bethel,
do not go to Gilgal,(D)
    do not journey to Beersheba.(E)
For Gilgal will surely go into exile,
    and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.[a](F)”
