5 Hear this word which I am taking up for you as a (A)song of mourning, house of Israel:

The (C)virgin Israel.
She lies unnoticed on her land;
There is (D)no one to raise her up.

The Message
All Show, No Substance
5 Listen to this, family of Israel,
this Message I’m sending in bold print, this tragic warning:
2 “Virgin Israel has fallen flat on her face.
She’ll never stand up again.
She’s been left where she’s fallen.
No one offers to help her up.”
