1 Hear ye this word which I lift up to you, a lamentation, O house of Israel. 2 The virgin of Israel fell; she shall not add to rise: she was cast out upon her land; none raising her up. 3 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: The city going out a thousand shall leave an hundred, and going out a hundred shall leave ten to the house of Israel. 4 For thus said Jehovah to the house of Israel: Seek ye me and live: 5 And ye shall not seek the house of God, and to Gilgal ye shall not go: and to the well of the oath ye shall not pass over: for Gilgal being taken captive shall be carried away captive, and the house of God shall be for nothing. 6 Seek ye Jehovah and live, lest he shall break through the house of Joseph as fire, and devour, and none quenching to the house of God.
