Amos 5:6 Context
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. 6Seeke the Lord, and ye shall liue, lest hee breake out like fire in the house of Ioseph and deuoure it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel, 7Ye who turne iudgment to wormwood, and leaue off righteousnesse in the earth: 8Seeke him that maketh the seuen starres and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day darke with night: that calleth for the waters of the Sea, and powreth them out vpon the face of the earth: the Lord is his Name.
