Hear
this
word
which
I take
up for you as a dirge,
O house
of Israel:
2
She has fallen,
she will not rise
again--
The virgin
Israel.
She lies neglected
on her land;
There is none
to raise
her up.
3
For thus
says
the Lord
GOD,
"The city
which goes
forth
a thousand
strong Will have
a hundred
left
,
And the one
which goes
forth
a hundred
strong Will have
ten
left
to the house
of Israel."
4
For thus
says
the LORD
to the house
of Israel,
"Seek
Me that you may live.
5
"But do not resort
to Bethel
And do not come
to Gilgal,
Nor
cross over
to Beersheba;
For Gilgal
will certainly
go into captivity
And Bethel
will come
to trouble.
6
"Seek
the LORD
that you may live,
Or
He will break forth
like a fire,
O house
of Joseph,
And it will consume
with none
to quench
it for Bethel,
7
For those who turn
justice
into wormwood
And cast
righteousness
down
to the earth."
8
He who made
the Pleiades
and Orion
And changes
deep darkness
into morning,
Who also darkens
day
into night,
Who calls
for the waters
of the sea
And pours
them out on the surface
of the earth,
The LORD
is His name.
9
It is He who flashes forth
with destruction
upon the strong,
So that destruction
comes
upon the fortress.
10
They hate
him who reproves
in the gate,
And they abhor
him who speaks
with integrity.
11
Therefore
because
you impose heavy rent
on the poor
And exact
a tribute
of grain
from them, Though you have built
houses
of well-hewn stone,
Yet you will not live
in them; You have planted
pleasant
vineyards,
yet you will not drink
their wine.
12
For I know
your transgressions
are many
and your sins
are great,
You who distress
the righteous
and accept
bribes
And turn aside
the poor
in the gate.
13
Therefore
at such
a time
the prudent
person keeps silent,
for it is an evil
time.
14
Seek
good
and not evil,
that you may live;
And thus
may the LORD
God
of hosts
be with you, Just
as you have said!
15
Hate
evil,
love
good,
And establish
justice
in the gate!
Perhaps
the LORD
God
of hosts
May be gracious
to the remnant
of Joseph.
16
Therefore
thus
says
the LORD
God
of hosts,
the Lord,
"There is wailing
in all
the plazas,
And
in all
the streets
they say,
'Alas!
Alas!'
They also call
the farmer
to mourning
And professional mourners
to lamentation.
17
"And in all
the vineyards
there is wailing,
Because
I will pass
through the midst
of you," says
the LORD.
18
Alas,
you who are longing
for the day
of the LORD
,
For what
purpose
will the day
of the LORD
be to you? It will be darkness
and not light;
19
As when
a man
flees
from a lion
And a bear
meets
him, Or goes
home,
leans
his hand
against
the wall
And a snake
bites
him.
20
Will not the day
of the LORD
be darkness
instead
of light,
Even gloom
with no
brightness
in it?
21
"I hate,
I reject
your festivals,
Nor
do I delight
in your solemn assemblies.
22
"Even
though
you offer
up to Me burnt offerings
and your grain offerings,
I will not accept
them; And I will not even look
at the peace offerings
of your fatlings.
23
"Take away
from Me the noise
of your songs;
I will not even listen
to the sound
of your harps.
24
"But let justice
roll down
like waters
And righteousness
like an ever-flowing
stream.
25
"Did you present
Me with sacrifices
and grain offerings
in the wilderness
for forty
years,
O house
of Israel?
26
"You also carried
along Sikkuth
your king
and Kiyyun,
your images,
the star
of your gods
which
you made
for yourselves.
27
"Therefore, I will make you go into exile
beyond
Damascus,"
says
the LORD,
whose name
is the God
of hosts.
