Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA
New International Version NIV
1 Hear this word—a funeral song—that I am lifting up against you, house of Israel:
1
Hear this word, Israel, this lament I take up concerning you:
2 Fallen, no more to rise, is virgin Israel, deserted on her land, with no one to raise her up.
2
“Fallen is Virgin Israel, never to rise again, deserted in her own land, with no one to lift her up.”
3 The LORD God proclaims: The city that marched out one thousand people will have one hundred left, and the city that marched out one hundred will have ten left in the house of Israel.
3
This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Israel: “Your city that marches out a thousand strong will have only a hundred left; your town that marches out a hundred strong will have only ten left.”
