HEAR ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023340">2</a>. The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023341">3</a>. For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023342">4</a>. For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023343">5</a>. But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023344">6</a>. Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023345">7</a>. Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023346">8</a>. Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023347">9</a>. That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023348">10</a>. They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023349">11</a>. Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023350">12</a>. For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023351">13</a>. Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023352">14</a>. Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023353">15</a>. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023354">16</a>. Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023355">17</a>. And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023356">18</a>. Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023357">19</a>. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023358">20</a>. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023359">21</a>. I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023360">22</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023361">23</a>. Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023362">24</a>. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023363">25</a>. Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023364">26</a>. But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023365">27</a>. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.</li>
