1 Hear this word that I am bearing to you, || A lamentation, O house of Israel: 2 “Fallen, not to rise again, has the virgin of Israel, || Left on her land—she has none [to] raise [her] up.” 3 For thus said Lord YHWH: “The city that is going out one thousand, || Leaves one hundred, || And that which is going out one hundred, || Leaves ten to the house of Israel.” 4 For thus said YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me, and live, 5 And do not seek Beth-El, and do not enter Gilgal, || And do not pass through Beer-Sheba, || For Gilgal utterly removes, || And Beth-El becomes vanity. 6 Seek YHWH, and live, || Lest He prosper as fire [against] the house of Joseph, || And it has consumed, || And there is no quencher for Beth-El— Amos 5:1-6, Literal Standard Version.
