Israel Has Not Returned to the Lord
6 “I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,and aflack of bread in all your places,
agyet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
7 “I also ahwithheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
aiI 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 ajwould wander to another city
to drink water, and would not be satisfied;
akyet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
9 al“I struck you with blight and mildew;
your many gardens and your vineyards,
your fig trees and your olive trees amthe locust devoured;
anyet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
10 “I sent among you a pestilence aoafter the manner of Egypt;
I killed your young men with the sword,
and apcarried away your horses, ▼
▼Hebrew along with the captivity of your horses
and arI made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
asyet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
11 “I overthrew some of you,
atas when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
and you were auas a brand ▼
▼That is, a burning stick
plucked out of the burning;awyet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
because I will do this to you,
prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”
