Amos 4:6-10

Israel Has Not Returned to the Lord

6 “I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
and alack of bread in all your places,
byet you did not return to me,”

declares the Lord.
7 I also cwithheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
dI 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 ewould wander to another city
to drink water, and would not be satisfied;
fyet you did not return to me,”

declares the Lord.
9 g“I struck you with blight and mildew;
your many gardens and your vineyards,
your fig trees and your olive trees hthe locust devoured;
iyet you did not return to me,”

declares the Lord.
10 “I sent among you a pestilence jafter the manner of Egypt;
I killed your young men with the sword,
and kcarried away your horses,
Hebrew along with the captivity of your horses

and mI made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
nyet you did not return to me,”

declares the Lord.
