but do not seek (A)Bethel,
and do not enter into (B)Gilgal
    or cross over to (C)Beersheba;
for (D)Gilgal shall surely go into exile,
    and (E)Bethel shall come to nothing.”

(F)Seek the Lord and live,
    (G)lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
    and it devour, with none to quench it for (H)Bethel,
O (I)you who turn justice to wormwood[a]
    and cast down righteousness to the earth!
