1 Hear this word, O house of Israel (he wrestles with God), this lamentation I take up against you⁺: 2 “Fallen is Virgin Israel (he wrestles with God), never to rise again. She lies abandoned on her land, with no one to raise her up.” 3 This is what the Lord GOD {Adonai YHWH} says: “The city that marches out a thousand strong will have but a hundred left, and the one that marches out a hundred strong will have but ten left in the house of Israel (he wrestles with God).” 4 For this is what the LORD {YHWH} says to the house of Israel (he wrestles with God): “Seek Me and live! 5 Do not seek Bethel (house of God) or go to Gilgal (a wheel); do not journey to Beersheba (well of seven), for Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will come to nothing \to Aven/. 6 Seek the LORD {YHWH} and live, or He will sweep like fire through the house of Joseph (YHWH has added); it will devour everything, with no one at Bethel (house of God) to extinguish it.
