1Yo, listen up! I got some real talk for you, Israel fam. This is a sad vibe check.

2Israel's fallen off; she ain't coming back. She's left all alone on her turf, no one to lift her up.

3God’s saying, "That city that was flexing with a thousand? Now it’s down to a hundred. And that hundred? Only ten left for Israel."

4God’s like, "Fam, if you seek me, you’ll be living your best life, fr."

5But don’t be rolling up to Beth-el or checking out Gilgal, 'cause those places are about to go down, no cap.

6Seek the Lord, and you’ll be vibing; otherwise, He’s gonna pop off like fire in Joseph’s crib, and it’ll be a whole mess.

7Y’all who twist justice like it’s nothing and ditch righteousness, what’s good with that?

8Seek the one who made the seven stars and Orion, turns death's shadow into morning, and calls the sea to spill out on the earth. That’s the Lord, for real.

9He’s the one who backs the weak against the strong, so the weak can take on the fortress.

10They can’t stand the ones calling out the truth at the gate, and they totally ghost those who keep it real.

11Y'all are stepping on the poor and taking their bread, building fancy houses but you won't even chill in them; planting dope vineyards but no wine for you, fr.

12I see all your shady moves and big sins: you mess with the good folks, take bribes, and leave the poor hanging, no cap.

13So, the wise are gonna keep it lowkey right now; it’s a sus time out here.

14Chase the good vibes, not the bad ones, so you can live; then the Lord, the ultimate boss, will roll with you, periodt.

15Hate the bad stuff, love the good, and keep it real in the community: maybe the Lord will show some grace to what’s left of Joseph.

16So, the Lord, the ultimate boss, is saying this: there’s gonna be crying in all the streets; folks will be like, “Oh no!” and call the pros to mourn.

17And in all the vineyards, there will be tears: I’m rolling through you, says the Lord.

18Woe to those who are hyped for the day of the Lord! What’s that gonna do for you? It’s all dark vibes, no light.

19It’s like a dude running from a lion, then a bear pops up; or he ducks into a house, leans on the wall, and gets bitten by a snake, savage.

20Is the day of the Lord not gonna be all dark and no light? Super dark with zero brightness, for real.

21I’m not vibing with your feast days, and I’m not about to catch the feels at your gatherings, no cap.

22Even if you bring me burnt offerings and meat, I’m not accepting that; your peace offerings? Totally sus.

23Just ditch the noise of your songs; I’m not here for the violin vibes, fr.

24But let justice flow like a river, and righteousness hit hard like a dope wave.

25Did you really think I wanted your sacrifices for forty years in the desert, fam?

26But you’ve been carrying around your Moloch and Chiun idols, the star you made for yourselves, and that’s just wild.

27So yeah, I’m sending you into captivity beyond Damascus, says the Lord, the ultimate boss.

1Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.

2The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.

3For thus saith the Lord God; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.

4For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:

5But seek not Beth–el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer–sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth–el shall come to nought.

6Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth–el.

7Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,

8Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:

9That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

10They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

11Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.

12For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.

13Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.

14Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

15Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

16Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

17And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord.

18Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.

19As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

20Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

21I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

22Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

23Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

24But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

25Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

26But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

27Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose name is The God of hosts.
