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.
