Israel Needs to Repent

Listen to this ·funeral song [dirge; word of lamentation] that I ·sing about [or take up against] you, ·people [L house] of Israel.

“The ·young girl [virgin] Israel has fallen,
    and she will not rise up again.
She was ·left alone [abandoned; forsaken] in her own land,
    and there is no one to ·help [raise; lift] her up.”

This is what the Lord God says:

“If a thousand soldiers leave a city,
    only a hundred will ·return [or remain];
if a hundred soldiers leave a city,
    only ten will ·return [or remain].”
