5:1 Hear
this
word
that
I
take
up
over
you
in
lamentation,
O
house
of
Israel:
5:2 "Fallen,
no
more
to
rise,
is
the
virgin
Israel;
forsaken
on
her
land,
with
none
to
raise
her
up."
5:3 For
thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
"The
city
that
went
out
a
thousand
shall
have
a
hundred
left,
and
that
which
went
out
a
hundred
shall
have
ten
left
to
the
house
of
Israel."
5:4 For
thus
says
the
LORD
to
the
house
of
Israel:
"Seek
me
and
live;
5:5 but
do
not
seek
Bethel,
and
do
not
enter
into
Gilgal
or
cross
over
to
Beersheba;
for
Gilgal
shall
surely
go
into
exile,
and
Bethel
shall
come
to
nothing."
5:6 Seek
the
LORD
and
live,
lest
he
break
out
like
fire
in
the
house
of
Joseph,
and
it
devour,
with
none
to
quench
it
for
Bethel,
5:7 O
you
who
turn
justice
to
wormwood
and
cast
down
righteousness
to
the
earth!
5:8 He
who
made
the
Pleiades
and
Orion,
and
turns
deep
darkness
into
the
morning
and
darkens
the
day
into
night,
who
calls
for
the
waters
of
the
sea
and
pours
them
out
on
the
surface
of
the
earth,
the
LORD
is
his
name;
5:9 who
makes
destruction
flash
forth
against
the
strong,
so
that
destruction
comes
upon
the
fortress.
5:10 They
hate
him
who
reproves
in
the
gate,
and
they
abhor
him
who
speaks
the
truth.
5:11 Therefore
because
you
trample
on
the
poor
and
you
exact
taxes
of
grain
from
him,
you
have
built
houses
of
hewn
stone,
but
you
shall
not
dwell
in
them;
you
have
planted
pleasant
vineyards,
but
you
shall
not
drink
their
wine.
5:12 For
I
know
how
many
are
your
transgressions
and
how
great
are
your
sins--
you
who
afflict
the
righteous,
who
take
a
bribe,
and
turn
aside
the
needy
in
the
gate.
5:13 Therefore
he
who
is
prudent
will
keep
silent
in
such
a
time,
for
it
is
an
evil
time.
5:14 Seek
good,
and
not
evil,
that
you
may
live;
and
so
the
LORD,
the
God
of
hosts,
will
be
with
you,
as
you
have
said.
5:15 Hate
evil,
and
love
good,
and
establish
justice
in
the
gate;
it
may
be
that
the
LORD,
the
God
of
hosts,
will
be
gracious
to
the
remnant
of
Joseph.
5:16 Therefore
thus
says
the
LORD,
the
God
of
hosts,
the
Lord:
"In
all
the
squares
there
shall
be
wailing,
and
in
all
the
streets
they
shall
say,
'Alas!
Alas!'
They
shall
call
the
farmers
to
mourning
and
to
wailing
those
who
are
skilled
in
lamentation,
5:17 and
in
all
vineyards
there
shall
be
wailing,
for
I
will
pass
through
your
midst,"
says
the
LORD.
5:18 Woe
to
you
who
desire
the
day
of
the
LORD!
Why
would
you
have
the
day
of
the
LORD
It
is
darkness,
and
not
light,
5:19 as
if
a
man
fled
from
a
lion,
and
a
bear
met
him,
or
went
into
the
house
and
leaned
his
hand
against
the
wall,
and
a
serpent
bit
him.
5:20 Is
not
the
day
of
the
LORD
darkness,
and
not
light,
and
gloom
with
no
brightness
in
it
5:21 "I
hate,
I
despise
your
feasts,
and
I
take
no
delight
in
your
solemn
assemblies.
5:22 Even
though
you
offer
me
your
burnt
offerings
and
grain
offerings,
I
will
not
accept
them;
and
the
peace
offerings
of
your
fattened
animals,
I
will
not
look
upon
them.
5:23 Take
away
from
me
the
noise
of
your
songs;
to
the
melody
of
your
harps
I
will
not
listen.
5:24 But
let
justice
roll
down
like
waters,
and
righteousness
like
an
ever-flowing
stream.
5:25 "Did
you
bring
to
me
sacrifices
and
offerings
during
the
forty
years
in
the
wilderness,
O
house
of
Israel
5:26 You
shall
take
up
Sikkuth
your
king,
and
Kiyyun
your
star-god--your
images
that
you
made
for
yourselves,
5:27 and
I
will
send
you
into
exile
beyond
Damascus,"
says
the
LORD,
whose
name
is
the
God
of
hosts.
