Amos 5:4-8
4For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel, “1Seek Me 2that you may live.5But do not 3resort to 4Bethel And do not come to 5Gilgal, Nor cross over to 6Beersheba; For Gilgal will certainly go into captivity And Bethel will 7come to trouble.68Seek the Lord that you may live, Or He will break forth like a 9fire, 10O house of Joseph, And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,7For those who turn 11justice into wormwood And 12cast righteousness down to the earth.”
8He who made the 13Pleiades and Orion And 14changes deep darkness into morning, 15Who also 16darkens day into night, Who 17calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The 18Lord is His name.
