Amos 5:2

A Lament And Call To Repentance

¹ Give ear to this word, my song of sorrow over you, O children of Israel. ² The virgin of Israel has been made low, never again to be lifted up: she is stretched out by herself on her land; there is no one to put her on her feet again. ³ For these are the words of the Lord God: The town which was able to send out a thousand, will have only a hundred; and that which sent out a hundred, will have only ten, in Israel.
