Amos 5:4-8

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Amos 5:4-8

4For this is what the LORD says to the house of Israel:
“Seek Me and live!
5Do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal;
do not journey to Beersheba,
for Gilgal will surely go into exile,
and Bethel will come to nothing.
6Seek the LORD and live,
or He will sweep like fire through the house of Joseph;
it will devour everything,
with no one at Bethel to extinguish it.
7There are those who turn justice into wormwood
and cast righteousness to the ground.
8He who made the Pleiades and Orion,
who turns darkness into dawn
and darkens day into night,
who summons the waters of the sea
and pours them over the face of the earth—
the LORD is His name —
— Amos 5:4-8
