Amos 5:5-6

5But do not 1resort to 2Bethel And do not come to 3Gilgal, Nor cross over to 4Beersheba; For Gilgal will certainly go into captivity And Bethel will 5come to trouble.6 6Seek the Lord that you may live, Or He will break forth like a 7fire, 8O house of Joseph, And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,
