Seek the LORD, Not the Shrines
Amos 5:4-9
4
¶ For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
5
But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
6
Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
7
Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8
Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
9
That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
