Context Reading
1Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel: 2“The virgin of Israel has fallen;She shall rise no more.She is cast down on her land;there is no one to raise her up.” 3For the Lord Yahweh says:“The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left,and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.” 4For Yahweh says to the house of Israel:“Seek me, and you will live; 5but don’t seek Bethel,nor enter into Gilgal,and don’t pass to Beersheba;for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,and Bethel shall come to nothing.
