Amos 5:5-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 “But do not [a]resort to (A)Bethel
And do not come to (B)Gilgal,
Nor cross over to (C)Beersheba;
For Gilgal will certainly go into captivity
And Bethel will [b]come to trouble.
6 “(D)Seek the Lord that you may live,
Or He will break forth like a (E)fire, [c]O house of Joseph,
And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,
7 For those who turn (F)justice into wormwood
And [d]cast righteousness down to the earth.”
Amos 5:5-7
New International Version
Amos 5:5-7
New International Version
5 do not seek Bethel,
do not go to Gilgal,(A)
do not journey to Beersheba.(B)
For Gilgal will surely go into exile,
and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.[a](C)”
6 Seek(D) the Lord and live,(E)
or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire;(F)
it will devour them,
and Bethel(G) will have no one to quench it.(H)
