1 Listen to this funeral song I am ready to sing about you, family of Israel:
2 “The virgin Israel has fallen down and will not get up again.She is abandoned on her own land with no one to help her get up.”
3 The sovereign Lord says this:“The city that marches out with a thousand soldiers will have only a hundred left;the town that marches out with a hundred soldiers will have only ten left for the family of Israel.”
4 The Lord says this to the family of Israel:“Seek me so you can live!
