A Lament for Israel
1 Hear this word which I atake up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:
2 The virgin of Israel has fallen;
She will rise no more.
She lies forsaken on her land;
There is no one to raise her up.
She will rise no more.
She lies forsaken on her land;
There is no one to raise her up.
3 For thus says the Lord God:
“The city that goes out by a thousand
Shall have a hundred left,
And that which goes out by a hundred
Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
“The city that goes out by a thousand
Shall have a hundred left,
And that which goes out by a hundred
Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
A Call to Repentance
5 But do not seek aBethel,
Nor enter Gilgal,
Nor pass over to bBeersheba;
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
And cBethel shall come to nothing.
Nor enter Gilgal,
Nor pass over to bBeersheba;
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
And cBethel shall come to nothing.
