[1] Listen to this word which I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel:
[2] “The virgin of Israel has fallen;
She shall rise no more.
She is cast down on her land;
there is no one to raise her up.” [3] For the Lord Yahweh says:
“The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left,
and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.” [4] For Yahweh says to the house of Israel:
“Seek me, and you will live;
[5] but don’t seek Bethel,
nor enter into Gilgal,
and don’t pass to Beersheba;
for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
and Bethel shall come to nothing.
[6] Seek Yahweh, and you will live,
lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.
[7] You who turn justice to wormwood,
and cast down righteousness to the earth!
[8] Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion,
and turns the shadow of death into the morning,
and makes the day dark with night;
who calls for the waters of the sea,
and pours them out on the surface of the earth, Yahweh is his name,
[9] who brings sudden destruction on the strong,
so that destruction comes on the fortress.
[10] They hate him who reproves in the gate,
and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.
[11] Therefore, because you trample on the poor and take taxes from him of wheat,
you have built houses of cut stone, but you will not dwell in them.
You have planted pleasant vineyards,
but you shall not drink their wine.
[12] For I know how many are your offenses,
and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the just,
who take a bribe,
and who turn away the needy in the courts.
[13] Therefore a prudent person keeps silent in such a time,
for it is an evil time.
[14] Seek good, and not evil,
that you may live;
and so Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be with you,
as you say.
[15] Hate evil, love good,
and establish justice in the courts.
It may be that Yahweh, the God of Armies, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.” [16] Therefore Yahweh, the God of Armies, the Lord, says:
“Wailing will be in all the wide ways.
They will say in all the streets, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They will call the farmer to mourning,
and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.
[17] In all vineyards there will be wailing,
for I will pass through the middle of you,” says Yahweh.
[18] “Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh!
Why do you long for the day of Yahweh?
It is darkness,
and not light.
[19] As if a man fled from a lion,
and a bear met him;
or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall,
and a snake bit him.
[20] Won’t the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light?
Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
[21] I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.
[22] Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings,
I will not accept them;
neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
[23] Take away from me the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
[24] But let justice roll on like rivers,
and righteousness like a mighty stream. [25] “Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel? [26] You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves. [27] Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of Armies.
[2] “The virgin of Israel has fallen;
She shall rise no more.
She is cast down on her land;
there is no one to raise her up.” [3] For the Lord Yahweh says:
“The city that went out a thousand shall have a hundred left,
and that which went out one hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.” [4] For Yahweh says to the house of Israel:
“Seek me, and you will live;
[5] but don’t seek Bethel,

and Bethel shall come to nothing.

and it devour, and there be no one to quench it in Bethel.

[12] For I knowH3045(QalPerf) your manifoldH7227 transgressionsH6588 and your mightyH6099 sins:H2403 they afflictH6887(QalActPtc) the just,H6662 they takeH3947(QalActPtc) a bribe,H3724 and they turn asideH5186(HiphPerf) the poorH34 in the gateH8179 [from their right]. [13] Therefore the prudentH7919(HiphPtc) shall keep silenceH1826(QalImpf) in that time;H6256 for it [is] an evilH7451 time.H6256 [14] SeekH1875(QalImpv) good,H2896 and not evil,H7451 that ye may live:H2421(QalImpf) and so the Lord,H3068 the GodH430 of hosts,H6635 shall be with you, as ye have spoken.H559(QalPerf) [15] HateH8130(QalImpv) the evil,H7451 and loveH157(QalImpv) the good,H2896 and establishH3322(HiphImpv) judgmentH4941 in the gate:H8179 it may be that the LordH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635 will be graciousH2603(QalImpf) unto the remnantH7611 of Joseph.H3130 [16] Therefore the Lord,H3068 the GodH430 of hosts,H6635 the Lord,H136 saithH559(QalPerf) thus; WailingH4553 [shall be] in all streets;H7339 and they shall sayH559(QalImpf) in all the highways,H2351 Alas!H1930 alas!H1930 and they shall callH7121(QalPerf) the husbandmanH406 to mourning,H60 and such as are skilfulH3045(QalActPtc) of lamentationH5092 to wailing.H4553 [17] And in all vineyardsH3754 [shall be] wailing:H4553 for I will passH5674(QalImpf) throughH7130 thee, saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord.H3068 [18] WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183(HithPtc) the dayH3117 of the Lord!H3068 to what endH4100 [is] it for you? the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 [is] darkness,H2822 and not light.H216 [19] As if a manH376 did fleeH5127(QalImpf) fromH6440 a lion,H738 and a bearH1677 metH6293(QalPerf) him; or wentH935(QalPerf) into the house,H1004 and leanedH5564(QalPerf) his handH3027 on the wall,H7023 and a serpentH5175 bitH5391(QalPerf) him. [20] [Shall] not the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 [be] darkness,H2822 and not light?H216 even very dark,H651 and no brightnessH5051 in it? [21] I hate,H8130(QalPerf) I despiseH3988(QalPerf) your feast days,H2282 and I will not smellH7306(HiphImpf) in your solemn assemblies.H6116 [22] Though ye offerH5927(HiphImpf) me burnt offeringsH5930 and your meat offerings,H4503 I will not acceptH7521(QalImpf) [them]: neither will I regardH5027(HiphImpf) the peace offeringsH8002 of your fat beasts.H4806 [23] Take thou awayH5493(HiphImpv) from me the noiseH1995 of thy songs;H7892 for I will not hearH8085(QalImpf) the melodyH2172 of thy viols.H5035 [24] But let judgmentH4941 run downH1556(NiphImpf) as waters,H4325 and righteousnessH6666 as a mightyH386 stream.H5158 [25] Have ye offeredH5066(HiphPerf) unto me sacrificesH2077 and offeringsH4503 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 years,H8141 O houseH1004 of Israel?H3478 [26] But ye have borneH5375(QalPerf) the tabernacleH5522 of your MolochH4428 and ChiunH3594 your images,H6754 the starH3556 of your god,H430 which ye madeH6213(QalPerf) to yourselves. [27] Therefore will I cause you to go into captivityH1540(HiphPerf) beyondH1973 Damascus,H1834 saithH559(QalPerf) the Lord,H3068 whose nameH8034 [is] The GodH430 of hosts.H6635
