go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.

shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour
it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.

Amos 5:21 ¶I hate,

22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your
meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace

23 Take thou away from

26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your
Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity
beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.

We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
