In context

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 have but a hundred left, and the one that marches out a hundred strong will have but ten left in the house of Israel.”

4For this is what the LORD says to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live!

5Do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal; do not journey to Beersheba, for Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will come to nothing.
