Amos 5:2

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹ Listen to this funeral song I am ready to sing about you, family of Israel: ² "The virgin Israel has fallen down and will not get up again. She is abandoned on her own land with no one to help her get up." ³ The sovereign Lord says this: "The city that marches out with a thousand soldiers will have only a hundred left; the town that marches out with a hundred soldiers will have only ten left for the family of Israel."
