Amos 5:1-3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

A Lament for Israel’s Sin

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

²“Fallen, no more to rise,
is the virgin Israel;
forsaken on her land,
with none to raise her up.”

³For thus says the Lord God:
“The city that went forth a thousand
    shall have a hundred left,
and that which went forth a hundred
    shall have ten left
    to the house of Israel.”
