Day 1 · A Lamentation against Israel
Amos 5:1–3
1Hear this word, O house of Israel, this lamentation I take up against you: 2“Fallen is Virgin Israel, never to rise again. She lies abandoned on her land, with no one to raise her up.” 3This is what the Lord GOD says: “The city that marches out a thousand strong will only see a hundred return, and the one that marches out a hundred strong will have but ten left in the house of Israel.”
