Israel Has Not Returned to the Lord
6 “I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,and xlack of bread in all your places,
yyet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
7 “I also zwithheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
aaI would send rain on one city,
and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
8so two or three cities abwould wander to another city
to drink water, and would not be satisfied;
acyet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
9 ad“I struck you with blight and mildew;
your many gardens and your vineyards,
your fig trees and your olive trees aethe locust devoured;
afyet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
