⁵ Don’t seek the idols of Bethel, Gilgal, or Beersheba; for the people of Gilgal will be carried off to exile, and those of Bethel shall surely come to grief.”

⁶ Seek the Lord and live, or else he will sweep like fire through Israel and consume her, and none of the idols in Bethel can put it out.

¹³ Therefore, those who are wise will not try to interfere with the Lord in the dread day of your punishment.

¹⁶ Therefore the Lord God says this: “There will be crying in all the streets and every road. Call for the farmers to weep with you too; call for professional mourners to wail and lament.

¹⁷ There will be sorrow and crying in every vineyard, for I will pass through and destroy.
