1Hear ye this word, for I raise on you a wailing. [Hear ye, house of Israel, this word, that I raise on you a wailing.]
2The house of Israel fell down, he shall not put to, that it rise again; the virgin of Israel is cast down into her land, none is that shall raise her. [The maiden of Israel fell down, she shall not put to, that she rise again; she is cast down into her earth, there is not that shall raise her up again.]
3For the Lord God saith these things, The city of which a thousand went out, an hundred shall be left therein; and of which an hundred went out, ten shall be left therein, in the house of Israel.
4For the Lord saith these things to the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live;
5and do not ye seek Bethel, and do not ye enter into Gilgal, and ye shall not pass to Beersheba; for why Gilgal shall be led captive, and Bethel shall be unprofitable.
6Seek ye the Lord, and live ye, lest peradventure the house of Joseph be burnt as fire; and it shall devour Bethel, and there shall none be, that shall quench.
7Which convert doom into worm-wood, and forsake rightwiseness in the land,
8and forsake him that maketh Arcturus or Pleiades and Orion, and him that turneth darknesses into the morrowtide, and him that changeth day into night; which calleth waters of the sea, and poureth out them on the face of [the] earth; the Lord is name of him.
9Which scorneth destroying on the strong, and bringeth robbing on the mighty.
10They hated a man reproving in the gate, and they loathed a man speaking perfectly.
11Therefore for that that ye robbed a poor man, and took from him the chosen prey, ye shall build houses with square stone, and ye shall not dwell in them; ye shall plant most loved vineyards, and ye shall not drink the wine of them.
12For I knew your great trespasses many, and your strong sins; enemies of the rightwise man , taking a gift, and bearing down poor men in the gate.
13Therefore a prudent man shall be still in that time, for the time is evil.
14Seek ye good, and not evil, that ye live, and the Lord God of hosts shall be with you, as ye said.
15Hate ye evil, and love ye good, and ordain ye in the gate doom; if peradventure the Lord God of hosts have mercy on the remnants of Joseph.
16Therefore the Lord God of hosts, having lordship, saith these things, Wailing shall be in all streets, and in all things that be withoutforth it shall be said, Woe! woe! and they shall call an earth-tiller to mourning, and them that know how to wail, to wailing.
17And wailing shall be in all ways, for I shall pass forth in the middle of thee, saith the Lord.
18Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord; whether to desire ye it to you? This day of the Lord shall be darknesses, and not light.
19As if a man run from the face of a lion, and a bear run to him; and he enter into the house, and lean with his hand on the wall, and a serpent dwelling in shadow bite him.
20Whether the day of the Lord shall not be darknesses, and not light; and mist, and not shining therein?
21I hated and casted away your feast days, and I shall not take the odour of your companies.
22That if ye offer to me your burnt sacrifices, and gifts, I shall not receive, and I shall not behold the avows of your fat things.
23Do thou away from me the noise of thy songs, and I shall not hear the songs of thine harp.
24And doom shall be showed as water, and rightwiseness as a strong stream.
25Whether ye offered to me hosts, and sacrifices in desert forty years, ye house of Israel?
26And ye have borne tabernacles to Moloch, your god, and image of your idols, the star of your god, which ye made to you.
27And I shall make you for to pass over Damascus, said the Lord; God of hosts is the name of him.
