Bible verse
Hear this word, O house of Israel, this lamentation I take up against you:
Amos 5:1 · BSB
The verses around it, from Amos 5.
1 Hear this word, O house of Israel, this lamentation I take up against you:
2 “Fallen is Virgin Israel, never to rise again. She lies abandoned on her land, with no one to raise her up.”
3 This is what the Lord GOD says: “The city that marches out a thousand strong will only see a hundred return, and the one that marches out a hundred strong will have but ten left in the house of Israel.”
4 For this is what the LORD says to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live!
5 Do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal; do not journey to Beersheba, for Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will come to nothing.
