Amos 5:3
Berean Standard Bible
This is what the Lord GOD says: “The city that marches out a thousand strong will only see a hundred return, and the one that marches out a hundred strong will have but ten left in the house of Israel.”
Context
1Hear this word, O house of Israel, this lamentation I take up against you: 2“Fallen is Virgin Israel,
never to rise again.
She lies abandoned on her land,
with no one to raise her up.” 3This is what the Lord GOD says:
“The city that marches out a thousand strong
will only see a hundred return,
and the one that marches out a hundred strong
will have but ten left in the house of Israel.” 4For this is what the LORD says to the house of Israel:
“Seek Me and live! 5Do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal;
do not journey to Beersheba,
for Gilgal will surely go into exile,
and Bethel will come to nothing.*
