2. you, dearest Israel, have fallen,never to rise again—you lie deserted in your own land,with no one to help you up.
3. The Lord God has warned,“From every ten soldiersonly one will be left;from a thousand troops,only a hundred will survive.”
4. The Lord keeps saying,“Israel, turn back to meand you will live!
5. Don't go to Gilgal or Bethelor even to Beersheba.Gilgal will be dragged away,and Bethel will end upas nothing.”
6. Turn back to the Lord,you descendants of Joseph,and you will live.If you don't, the Lordwill attack like fire.Bethel will burn to the ground,and no one can save it.
