Amos 5:4 in context

  1. 2“The virgin of Israel has fallen;
    She shall rise no more.
    She is cast down on her land;
    there is no one to raise her up.”
  2. 3For the Lord Yahweh says:
    “The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left,
    and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
  3. 4For Yahweh says to the house of Israel:
    “Seek me, and you will live;
  4. 5but don’t seek Bethel,
    nor enter into Gilgal,
    and don’t pass to Beersheba:
    for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
    and Bethel shall come to nothing.
  5. 6Seek Yahweh, and you will live;
    lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
    and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
