Amos 5:1-7
Amos 5:1-7 TPT
Listen to this funeral song that I sing over you, people of Israel: “Virgin Israel has fallen, never to rise again. There she lies, abandoned on her own soil, with no one to lift her up.” Lord YAHWEH says this: “The city that deployed a thousand soldiers will only have a hundred come back, and the city that deployed a hundred soldiers will only have ten survivors.” For YAHWEH says this to the people of Israel: “Come, seek me, and you will live. But don’t go down to seek me at Beersheba. Don’t try to find me at Bethel’s shrines or at the altars at Gilgal. For Gilgal will be taken into exile, and Bethel will be brought to nothing.” Come back to YAHWEH and live, or he will sweep down like fire upon the people of Israel. The fire will burn at Bethel with no one there to put out the flames. They turn justice into a bitter pill to swallow and trample righteousness into the mud.
