Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel.

“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.”

For 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.”

Seek the Lord and Live

Hear this word that I (A)take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel:

“Fallen, no more to rise,
    is (B)the virgin Israel;
forsaken on her land,
    with none to raise her up.”

For thus says the Lord God:

“The city that went out a thousand
    shall have a hundred left,
and that which went out a hundred
    shall have ten left
    to the house of Israel.”
