Amos 5:2 in context

Amos 5:1–5

Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:

Selected verse

“The virgin of Israel has fallen;

She shall rise no more.

She is cast down on her land;

there is no one to raise her up.”

For the Lord GOD says:

“The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left,

and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”

For the LORD says to the house of Israel:

“Seek me, and you will live;

but don’t seek Bethel,

nor enter into Gilgal,

and don’t pass to Beersheba;

for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,

and Bethel shall come to nothing.
