5:1 Listen to this funeral song I am ready to sing about you, family of Israel:
5:2 “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.”
5:3 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.”
