5:1 Listen to this funeral song I am ready to sing about you, 1 family 2 of Israel:
5:2 “The virgin 3 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.” 4
5:3 The sovereign Lord says this:
“The city that marches out with a thousand soldiers 5 will have only a hundred left;
the town 6 that marches out with a hundred soldiers 7 will have only ten left for the family of Israel.” 8
