Evening Scripture Reading - Amos 5:4-7

Amos 5:4-7 English Standard Version

4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:

“Seek me and live;

5     but do not seek Bethel,

and do not enter into Gilgal

    or cross over to Beersheba;

for Gilgal shall surely go into exile,

    and Bethel shall come to nothing.”

6 Seek the Lord and live,

    lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,

    and it devour, with none to quench it for Bethel,

7 O you who turn justice to wormwood

    and cast down righteousness to the earth!
