Amos 5:1-3
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
A Lament for Israel’s Sin
5 Hear this word that I take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel:(A)
2 Fallen, no more to rise,
is maiden Israel;
forsaken on her land,
with no one to raise her up.(B)
3 For thus says the Lord God:
The city that marched out a thousand
shall have a hundred left,
and that which marched out a hundred
shall have ten left.[a](C)

Mourning for Fallen Israel
5 Listen to this word that I am raising against you as a lament,[a] O house of Israel:
2 Virgin Israel has fallen, and she will not rise again.
She is abandoned on her own soil.
There is no one to lift her up.
3 For this is what the Lord God says:
A city that marches out with a thousand will have a hundred left.
A city that marches out with a hundred will have ten left for the house of Israel.
