Do not seek Bethel^(A)
or go to Gilgal^(B)
or journey to Beer-sheba,^(C)
for Gilgal will certainly go into exile,
and Bethel will come to nothing.

Seek Yahweh^(D) and live,
or He will spread like fire^(E)
throughout the house of Joseph;
it will consume everything,
with no one at Bethel to extinguish it.^(F)
