Amos 5:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

A Lament for Israel’s Sin

5 Hear this word that I take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel:

²Fallen, no more to rise,

³For thus says the Lord God:
The city that marched out a thousand
shall have a hundred left,
and that which marched out a hundred
shall have ten left.^[a]
