Amos 5:3 in Context — Amos 5

1 Ouvi esta palavra que eu levanto sobre vós, uma lamentação, ó casa de Israel.

2 A virgem Israel caiu, não poderá mais se levantar; abandonada está sobre sua terra, ninguém há que a levante.

3 Porque assim diz o Senhor DEUS: A cidade que enviou mil [soldados] sobrará com cem; e a que enviou cem sobrará com dez, na casa de Israel.

4 Porque assim diz o SENHOR à casa de Israel: Buscai-me, e vivereis;

5 Porém não busqueis a Betel nem venhais a Gilgal, nem passeis a Berseba; porque Gilgal será levada em cativeiro, e Betel será reduzida a nada.
