Amos 5:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible

5 A lamentation for the captivity of Israel.

1 Hear ye this word, which I lift up upon you, even a lamentation of the house of Israel.

2 The [a]virgin Israel is fallen, and shall no more rise: she is left upon her land, and there is none to raise her up.

3 For thus saith the Lord God, The city which went out by a thousand, shall leave [b]an hundred: and that which went forth by an hundred, shall leave ten to the house of Israel.
