Amos 5:2

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹ Listen to this message that I am singing for you, a lament, house of Israel: ² She has fallen;
Virgin Israel will never rise again.
She lies abandoned on her land,
with no one to raise her up. ³ For the Lord God says:

The city that marches out a thousand strong
will have only a hundred left,
and the one that marches out a hundred strong
will have only ten left in the house of Israel.
