Amos 5:3 Context
1Heare ye this word which I take vp against you, euen a lamentation, O house of Israel. 2The virgin of Israel is fallen, she shall no more rise: she is forsaken vpon her land, there is none to raise her vp. 3For thus saith the Lord God, The citie that went out by a thousand, shall leaue an hundred, and that which went foorth by an hundred, shall leaue ten to the house of Israel. 4¶ For thus saith the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seeke ye mee, and ye shall liue. 5But seeke not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal and passe not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely goe into captiuitie, and Bethel shal come to nought.
