1 Listen to this word, which I lift over you in lamentation. The house of Israel has fallen, and it will no longer rise again. 2 The virgin of Israel has been thrown onto her land, there is no one who can raise her up. 3 For thus says the Lord God: In the city from which a thousand departed, a hundred will remain, and in that from which a hundred departed, ten will remain, in the house of Israel. 4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek me and you will live. 5 But do not be willing to seek Bethel, and do not be willing to enter Gilgal, and you will not cross into Beer-sheba. For Gilgal will be led into captivity, and Bethel will be useless. 6 Seek the Lord and live. Otherwise, the house of Joseph may be destroyed with fire, and it will devour, and there will be no one who can extinguish Bethel. Amos 5:1-6, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
