Amos 5:4-9

4This is what the Lord says to the nation of Israel: Search for me and live!

5But don’t search ⌞for me⌟ at Bethel. Don’t go to Gilgal. Don’t travel to Beersheba. Gilgal will certainly go into exile. Bethel will come to nothing.

6Search for the Lord and live! If you don’t, he will spread like a fire through the house of Joseph and burn it down. Bethel will have no one to put it out.

7You, Israel, turn justice into poison and throw righteousness on the ground.

8God made the ⌞constellations⌟ Pleiades and Orion. He turns deep darkness into dawn. He turns day into night. He calls for water from the sea to pour it over the face of the earth. His name is the Lord.

9He destroys strongholds and ruins fortresses.
