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
.
4
For
thus
saith
the LORD
unto the house
of Israel
,
Seek
ye me, and ye shall live:
5
But seek
not Bethel
,
nor enter
into Gilgal
,
and pass
not to Beersheba
:
for Gilgal
shall surely
go into captivity,
and Bethel
shall come to nought
.
6
Seek
the LORD,
and ye shall live
;
lest he break out
like fire
in the house
of Joseph
,
and devour
it
, and
there be
none
to quench
it
in Bethel
.
7
Ye who turn
judgment
to wormwood
, and leave off
righteousness
in the earth
,
8
Seek him
that maketh
the seven stars
and Orion
,
and turneth
the shadow of death
into the morning
,
and maketh the day
dark
with night
:
that calleth
for the waters
of the sea
,
and poureth them out
upon the face
of the earth
:
The LORD
is
his name
:
9
That strengtheneth
the spoiled
against the strong
,
so that
the spoiled
shall come
against the fortress
.
10
They hate
him that rebuketh
in the gate
,
and they abhor
him that speaketh
uprightly
.
11
Forasmuch
therefore as your treading
is
upon the poor
,
and ye take
from him burdens
of wheat
:
ye have built
houses
of hewn stone
,
but ye shall not dwell
in them; ye have planted
pleasant
vineyards
,
but ye shall not drink
wine
of them.
12
For I know
your manifold
transgressions
and your mighty
sins
:
they afflict
the just
,
they take
a bribe
,
and they turn aside
the poor
in the gate
from their right
.
13
Therefore
the prudent
shall keep silence
in that
time
; for it
is
an evil
time
.
14
Seek
good
,
and not evil
,
that ye may live
:
and so the LORD
,
the God
of hosts
, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
15
Hate
the evil
,
and love
the good
,
and establish
judgment
in the gate
:
it may be that the LORD
God
of hosts
will be gracious
unto the remnant
of Joseph
.
16
Therefore
the LORD
,
the God
of hosts
,
the Lord
,
saith
thus
; Wailing
shall be
in
all
streets
;
and they shall say
in
all
the highways
,
Alas
!
alas
!
and they shall call
the husbandman
to mourning
,
and such as are skilful
of lamentation
to wailing.
17
And in
all
vineyards
sh
all
be
wailing
:
for I will pass
through
thee, saith
the LORD
.
18
Woe
unto you that desire
the day
of the LORD
!
to what end
is
it for you?
the day
of the LORD
is
darkness
,
and not light
.
19
As if a man
did flee
from
a lion
,
and a bear
met
him; or went
into the house
,
and leaned
his hand
on the wall
,
and a serpent
bit
him.
20
Shall
no
t the day
of the LORD
be
darkness
, and
no
t light? even very dark,
and
no
brightness
in it?
21
I hate
,
I despise
your feast days
, and I will not smell
in your solemn assemblies
.
22
Though ye offer
me burnt offerings
and your meat offerings
,
I will not accept
them
: neither will I regard
the peace offerings
of your fat beasts
.
23
Take thou away
from me the noise
of thy songs
;
for I will not hear
the melody
of thy viols
.
24
But let judgment
run down
as waters
,
and righteousness
as a mighty
stream
.
25
Have ye offered
unto me sacrifices
and offerings
in the wilderness
forty
years
,
O house
of
Israel
?
26
But ye have borne
the tabernacle
of your Moloch
and Chiun
your images
,
the star
of your god
,
which
ye made
to yourselves.
27
Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity
beyond
Damascus
,
saith
the LORD
,
whose name
is
The God
of hosts
.
