Amos 5:6
King James Version
“Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour and none to quench in Bethel.”
Context
3For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
4For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
5But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
6Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour and none to quench in Bethel.
7Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
8that 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 his name:
9That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
