She will rise no more.
She lies forsaken on her land;
There is no one to raise her up.
“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
Nor enter Gilgal,
Nor pass over to bBeersheba;
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
And cBethel shall come to nothing.
Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
And devour it,
With no one to quench it in Bethel—
He turns the shadow of death into morning
bAnd makes the day dark as night;
He ccalls for the waters of the sea
And pours them out on the face of the earth;
dThe Lord is His name.
