American Standard Version

Amos 5:5-7
New King James Version
5 But do not seek (A)Bethel,
Nor enter Gilgal,
Nor pass over to (B)Beersheba;
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
And (C)Bethel shall come to nothing.
6 (D)Seek the Lord and live,
Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
And devour it,
With no one to quench it in Bethel—
7 You who (E)turn justice to wormwood,
And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!”
