Amos 5:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 5:2

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.

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.”

A Call to Repentance

4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
^a“Seek Me ^band live;

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.
