5:1 Heare
ye
this
word
which
I
take
vp
against
you,
euen
a
lamentation,
O
house
of
Israel.
5:2 The
virgin
of
Israel
is
fallen,
she
shall
no
more
rise:
she
is
forsaken
vpon
her
land,
there
is
none
to
raise
her
vp.
5:3 For
thus
saith
the
Lord
God,
The
citie
that
went
out
by
a
thousand,
shall
leaue
an
hundred,
and
that
which
went
foorth
by
an
hundred,
shall
leaue
ten
to
the
house
of
Israel.
5:4 For
thus
saith
the
Lord
vnto
the
house
of
Israel,
Seeke
ye
mee,
and
ye
shall
liue.
5:5 But
seeke
not
Bethel,
nor
enter
into
Gilgal
and
passe
not
to
Beer-sheba:
for
Gilgal
shall
surely
goe
into
captiuitie,
and
Bethel
shal
come
to
nought.
5:6 Seeke
the
Lord,
and
ye
shall
liue,
lest
hee
breake
out
like
fire
in
the
house
of
Ioseph
and
deuoure
it,
and
there
be
none
to
quench
it
in
Bethel,
5:7 Ye
who
turne
iudgment
to
wormwood,
and
leaue
off
righteousnesse
in
the
earth:
5:8 Seeke
him
that
maketh
the
seuen
starres
and
Orion,
and
turneth
the
shadow
of
death
into
the
morning,
and
maketh
the
day
darke
with
night:
that
calleth
for
the
waters
of
the
Sea,
and
powreth
them
out
vpon
the
face
of
the
earth:
the
Lord
is
his
Name.
5:9 That
strengtheneth
the
spoiled
against
the
strong:
so
that
the
spoiled
shall
come
against
the
fortresse.
5:10 They
hate
him
that
rebuketh
in
the
gate:
and
they
abhorre
him
that
speaketh
vprightly.
5:11 Forasmuch
therfore
as
your
treading
is
vpon
the
poore,
and
ye
take
from
him
burdens
of
wheate,
ye
haue
built
houses
of
hewen
stone,
but
ye
shall
not
dwell
in
them:
yee
haue
planted
pleasant
vineyards,
but
ye
shall
not
drinke
wine
of
them.
5:12 For
I
know
your
manifold
transgressions,
and
your
mighty
sinnes:
they
afflict
the
iust,
they
take
a
bribe,
and
they
turne
aside
the
poore
in
the
gate
from
their
right.
5:13 Therefore
the
prudent
shall
keepe
silence
in
that
time,
for
it
is
an
euill
time.
5:14 Seeke
good
and
not
euill,
that
ye
may
liue:
and
so
the
Lord,
the
God
of
hosts
shall
be
with
you,
as
yee
haue
spoken.
5:15 Hate
the
euill,
and
loue
the
good,
and
establish
iudgement
in
the
gate:
it
may
be
that
the
Lord
God
of
hostes
will
bee
gracious
vnto
the
remnant
of
Ioseph.
5:16 Therefore
the
Lord,
the
God
of
hostes,
the
Lord
saith
thus:
Wailing
shall
be
in
all
streets,
and
they
shall
say
in
all
the
high
wayes,
Alas,
Alas:
and
they
shall
call
the
husbandman
to
mourning,
and
such
as
are
skilful
of
lamentation,
to
wailing.
5:17 And
in
all
vineyards
shall
be
wailing:
for
I
will
passe
through
thee,
saith
the
Lord.
5:18 Woe
vnto
you
that
desire
the
day
of
the
Lord:
to
what
ende
is
it
for
you
the
day
of
the
Lord
is
darknes
and
not
light.
5:19 As
if
a
man
did
flee
from
a
lyon,
and
a
beare
met
him,
or
went
into
the
house,
and
leaned
his
hand
on
the
wall,
and
a
serpent
bit
him.
5:20 Shall
not
the
day
of
the
Lord
be
darkenes,
and
not
light
euen
very
darke,
and
no
brightnesse
in
it
5:21 I
hate,
I
despise
your
feast
dayes,
and
I
will
not
smell
in
your
solemne
assemblies.
5:22 Though
ye
offer
me
burnt
offerings,
and
your
meat
offerings,
I
will
not
accept
them:
neither
will
I
regard
the
peace
offerings
of
your
fat
beasts.
5:23 Take
thou
away
from
mee
the
noise
of
thy
songs:
for
I
will
not
heare
the
melodie
of
thy
violes.
5:24 But
let
iudgement
run
downe
as
waters,
and
righteousnesse
as
a
mightie
streame.
5:25 Haue
yee
offered
vnto
mee
sacrifices
and
offerings
in
the
wildernesse
fourtie
yeeres,
O
house
of
Israel
5:26 But
yee
haue
borne
the
tabernacle
of
your
Moloch,
and
Chiun
your
images,
the
starre
of
your
god,
which
ye
made
to
your
selues.
5:27 Therefore
wil
I
cause
you
to
go
into
captiuitie
beyond
Damascus,
saith
the
Lord,
whose
Name
is
the
God
of
hostes.
