Amos 5:1-3
Authorized (King James) Version
5 Hear ye this word which I take up against you,
even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen;
she shall no more rise:
she is forsaken upon her land;
there is none to raise her up.
3 For thus saith the Lord God;
The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred,
and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten,
to the house of Israel.
Amos 5:1-3
New King James Version
A Lament for Israel
5 Hear this word which I (A)take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:
2 The virgin of Israel has fallen;
She will rise no more.
She lies forsaken on her land;
There is no one to raise her up.
3 For thus says the Lord God:
“The city that goes out by a thousand
Shall have a hundred left,
And that which goes out by a hundred
Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.”
