00:01.440 --> 00:06.520
Hear ye this word which I take up against
you, even a lamentation, O house of

00:06.520 --> 00:06.840
Israel.

00:07.480 --> 00:09.480
The virgin of Israel is fallen.

00:10.000 --> 00:11.340
She shall no more rise.

00:11.760 --> 00:13.800
She is forsaken upon her land.

00:14.200 --> 00:18.420
There is none to raise her up,
for thus saith the Lord God.

00:18.860 --> 00:23.520
The city that went out by a thousand shall
leave a hundred, and that which went forth

00:23.520 --> 00:27.080
by a hundred shall leave ten to the house
of Israel.

00:27.080 --> 00:32.540
For thus saith the Lord unto the house of
Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live.

00:33.040 --> 00:38.140
But seek not Bethel, nor enter into
Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba.

00:38.500 --> 00:43.100
For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity,
and Bethel shall come to naught.

00:43.820 --> 00:48.500
Seek the Lord, and ye shall live,
lest ye break out like fire in the house

00:48.500 --> 00:52.360
of Joseph, and devour it, and there be
none to quench it in Bethel.

00:52.360 --> 00:57.160
Ye who turn judgment to wormwood,
and leave off righteousness in the earth,

00:57.540 --> 01:02.660
seek him that maketh the seven stars and
Orion, and turneth the shadow of death

01:02.660 --> 01:08.000
into the morning, and maketh the day dark
with night, that calleth for the waters of

01:08.000 --> 01:11.060
the sea, and poureth them out upon the
face of the earth.

01:11.460 --> 01:15.880
The Lord is his name, that strengtheneth
the spoiled against the strong,

01:16.200 --> 01:18.980
so that the spoiled shall come against the
fortress.

01:18.980 --> 01:23.940
They hate him that rebuketh in the gate,
and they abhor him that speaketh

01:23.940 --> 01:24.230
uprightly.

01:25.180 --> 01:29.680
Forasmuch therefore as your treading is
upon the poor, and ye take from him

01:29.680 --> 01:34.900
burdens of wheat, ye have built houses of
hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in

01:34.900 --> 01:35.140
them.

01:35.560 --> 01:39.640
Ye have planted pleasant vineyards,
but ye shall not drink wine of them.

01:39.980 --> 01:43.720
For I know your manifold transgressions
and your mighty sins.

01:43.720 --> 01:50.000
They afflict the just, they take a bride,
and they turn aside the poor in the gate

01:50.000 --> 01:50.940
from their right.

01:51.980 --> 01:56.800
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence
in that time, for it is an evil time.

01:57.520 --> 02:00.360
Seek good and not evil, that ye may live.

02:00.800 --> 02:04.940
And so the Lord, the God of hosts,
shall be with you as ye have spoken.

02:05.620 --> 02:10.320
Hate the evil, and love the good,
and establish judgment in the gate.

02:10.320 --> 02:15.120
It may be that the Lord, God of hosts,
will be gracious unto the remnant of

02:15.120 --> 02:15.460
Joseph.

02:16.140 --> 02:22.240
Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts,
the Lord saith thus, Wailing shall be in

02:22.240 --> 02:28.900
all streets, and they shall say in all the
highways, Alas, alas, and they shall call

02:28.900 --> 02:33.740
the husbandmen to mourning, and such as
are skillful of lamentation to wailing.

02:34.240 --> 02:39.140
And in all vineyards shall be wailing,
for I will pass through thee, saith the

02:39.140 --> 02:39.440
Lord.

02:39.440 --> 02:42.400
Woe unto you that desire the day of the
Lord!

02:42.840 --> 02:44.640
To what end is it for you?

02:45.180 --> 02:49.800
The day of the Lord is darkness,
and not light, as if a man did flee from a

02:49.800 --> 02:54.760
lion, and a bear met him, or went into the
house, and leaned his hand on the wall,

02:54.960 --> 02:56.160
and a serpent bit him.

02:56.620 --> 03:01.880
Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness,
and not light, even very dark,

03:02.060 --> 03:03.640
and no brightness in it?

03:03.640 --> 03:08.960
I hate, I despise your feast days,
and I will not smell in your solemn

03:08.960 --> 03:09.660
assemblies.

03:10.200 --> 03:14.140
Though ye offer me burnt offerings,
and your meat offerings, I will not accept

03:14.140 --> 03:14.380
them.

03:14.880 --> 03:17.920
Neither will I regard the peace offerings
of your fat beasts.

03:18.520 --> 03:23.140
Take thou away from me the noise of thy
songs, for I will not hear the melody of

03:23.140 --> 03:23.700
thy vials.

03:24.360 --> 03:29.020
But let judgment run down as waters,
and righteousness as a mighty stream.

03:29.020 --> 03:33.800
Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and
offerings in the wilderness forty years,

03:34.000 --> 03:34.760
O house of Israel?

03:35.300 --> 03:39.480
But ye have borne the tabernacle of your
Moloch, and Chion, your images,

03:39.880 --> 03:42.660
the star of your God, which ye made to
yourselves.

03:43.300 --> 03:47.840
Therefore will I cause you to go into
captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord,

03:48.220 --> 03:50.520
whose name is the God of hosts.
