Amos 5:5-7
21st Century King James Version
5 but seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
6 Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel—
7 ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth!”

and Bethel(G) will have no one to quench it.(H)
