1 Heare ye this worde whiche I lift vp vpon you, euen a lamentation of the house of Israel. 2 The virgin Israel is fallen, & shall no more rise: she is left vpon her lande, and there is none to rayse her vp. 3 For thus sayth the Lorde God, The citie which went out by a thousand, shall leaue an hundreth, & that whiche went foorth by an hundreth, shall leaue ten, to the house of Israel. 4 For thus sayth the Lord vnto the house of Israel, Seke ye me, and ye shall liue. 5 But seke not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and go not to Beerseba: for Gilgal shall go into captiuitie, and Bethel shall come to naught. 6 Seke the Lord, and ye shall liue: lest he breake out like fire in the house of Ioseph, and deuoure it, and there be noone to quenche it in Bethel. Amos 5:1-6, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
