A Lament for Israel
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 5
|
|
1. Hear this word which I 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."A Call to Repentance
|
|
|
|
4. For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
|
|
"Seek Me and live;
|
|
|
|
5. But do not seek Bethel,
|
|
Nor enter Gilgal,
|
|
Nor pass over to Beersheba;
|
|
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
|
|
And Bethel shall come to nothing.
|
|
|
|
6. Seek the Lord and live,
|
|
Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
|
|
And devour it,
|
|
With no one to quench it in Bethel--
|
|
|
|
7. You who turn justice to wormwood,
|
|
And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!"
|
|
|
|
8. He made the Pleiades and Orion;
|
|
He turns the shadow of death into morning
|
|
And makes the day dark as night;
|
|
He calls for the waters of the sea
|
|
And pours them out on the face of the earth;
|
|
The Lord is His name.
|
|
|
|
9. He rains ruin upon the strong,
|
|
So that fury comes upon the fortress.
|
|
|
|
10. They hate the one who rebukes in the gate,
|
|
And they abhor the one who speaks uprightly.
|
|
|
|
11. Therefore, because you tread down the poor
|
|
And take grain taxes from him,
|
|
Though you have built houses of hewn stone,
|
|
Yet you shall not dwell in them;
|
|
You have planted pleasant vineyards,
|
|
But you shall not drink wine from them.
|
|
|
|
12. For I know your manifold transgressions
|
|
And your mighty sins:
|
|
Afflicting the just and taking bribes;
|
|
Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.
|
|
|
|
13. Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time,
|
|
For it is an evil time.
|
|
|
|
14. Seek good and not evil,
|
|
That you may live;
|
|
So the Lord God of hosts will be with you,
|
|
As you have spoken.
|
|
|
|
15. Hate evil, love good;
|
|
Establish justice in the gate.
|
|
It may be that the Lord God of hosts
|
|
Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.The Day of the Lord
|
|
|
|
16. Therefore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord, says this:
|
|
"There shall be wailing in all streets,
|
|
And they shall say in all the highways,
|
|
'Alas! Alas!'
|
|
They shall call the farmer to mourning,
|
|
And skillful lamenters to wailing.
|
|
|
|
17. In all vineyards there shall be wailing,
|
|
For I will pass through you,"
|
|
Says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
18. Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
|
|
For what good is the day of the Lord to you?
|
|
It will be darkness, and not light.
|
|
|
|
19. It will be as though a man fled from a lion,
|
|
And a bear met him!
|
|
Or as though he went into the house,
|
|
Leaned his hand on the wall,
|
|
And a serpent bit him!
|
|
|
|
20. Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light?
|
|
Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?
|
|
|
|
21. "I hate, I despise your feast days,
|
|
And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.
|
|
|
|
22. Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
|
|
I will not accept them,
|
|
Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
|
|
|
|
23. Take away from Me the noise of your songs,
|
|
For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
|
|
|
|
24. But let justice run down like water,
|
|
And righteousness like a mighty stream.
|
|
|
|
25. "Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings
|
|
In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
|
|
|
|
26. You also carried Sikkuth your king
|
|
And Chiun, your idols,
|
|
The star of your gods,
|
|
Which you made for yourselves.
|
|
|
|
27. Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus,"
|
|
Says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts.
