² Virgin Israel has fallen and will not rise again. She is deserted on her land; there is no one to raise her up. ³ For thus says my Lord Yahweh, “The city that marches out with a thousand will only have a hundred left. And the one that marches out with a hundred will only have ten left for the house of Israel.” ⁴ For thus says Yahweh to the house of Israel, “Seek me so that you may live.”
