“Seek Me that You May Live”

Hear this word which I take up for you as a (A)dirge, O house of Israel:
She has fallen, she will (B)not rise again—
The (C)virgin Israel.
She lies neglected on her land;
There is (D)none to raise her up.

For thus says the Lord [a]God,

“The city which goes forth a thousand strong
Will have a (E)hundred left,
And the one which goes forth a hundred strong
Will have (F)ten left to the house of Israel.”
