Amos 5:4-6

4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:

^a“Seek me and live;
5 but do not seek ^bBethel,
and do not enter into ^cGilgal
or cross over to ^dBeersheba;
for ^eGilgal shall surely go into exile,
and ^fBethel shall come to nothing.”
6 ^gSeek the Lord and live,
^hlest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
and it devour, with none to quench it for ⁱBethel,

Zephaniah 2:2-3

2 ^jbefore the decree takes effect ^{▼▼Hebrew gives birth}
—before the day passes away ^llike chaff—
^mbefore there comes upon you
the burning anger of the Lord,
before there comes upon you
the day of the anger of the Lord.
3 ⁿSeek the Lord, ^oall you humble of the land,
who do his just commands; ^{▼▼Or who carry out his judgment}
^qseek righteousness; seek humility;
^rperhaps ^syou may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord.
