For soH3651 you 5loveH157 to do, you sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

6“But I gaveH5414 you alsoH1571 6cleannessH5356 of teethH8127 in allH3605 your citiesH5892 And lackH2640 of breadH3899 in allH3605 your placesH4725, Yet you have 7not returnedH7725 to Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.7“FurthermoreH1571, I 8withheldH4513 the rainH1653 from you While there were stillH5750 threeH7969 monthsH2320 until harvestH7105. Then I would sendH4305 rainH4305 on oneH259 cityH5892 And on 9anotherH259 cityH5892 I would not sendH4305 rainH4305; OneH259 partH2513 would be rainedH4305 on, While the partH2513 not rainedH4305 on would dryH3001 up.8So twoH8147 or threeH7969 citiesH5892 would staggerH5128 to anotherH259 cityH5892 to drinkH8354 10waterH4325, But would 11not be satisfiedH7646; Yet you have 12not returnedH7725 to Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.9“I 13smoteH5221 you with scorchingH7711 wind and mildewH3420; And the 14caterpillarH1501 was devouringH398 Your manyH7235 gardensH1593 and vineyardsH3754, figH8384 treesH8384 and oliveH2132 treesH2132; Yet you have 15not returnedH7725 to Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.10“I sentH7971 a 16plagueH1698 among you after the mannerH1870 of EgyptH4714; I 17slewH2026 your youngH970 menH970 by the swordH2719 alongH5973 with your 18capturedH7628 horsesH5483, And I made the 19stenchH889 of your campH4264 riseH5927 up in your nostrilsH639; Yet you have 20not returnedH7725 to Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.11“I overthrewH2015 you, as 21GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, And you were like a 22firebrandH181 snatchedH5337 from a blazeH8316; Yet you have 23not returnedH7725 to Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.12“ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 I will doH6213 to you, O IsraelH3478; BecauseH6118H3588 I will doH6213 thisH2088 to you, PrepareH3559 to 24meetH7122 your GodH430, O IsraelH3478.”13For beholdH2009, He who 25formsH3335 mountainsH2022 and 26createsH1254 the windH7307 And 27declaresH5046 to manH120 whatH4100 are His thoughtsH7808, He who 28makesH6213 dawnH7837 into darknessH5890 And 29treadsH1869 on the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776, 30The LordH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635 is His nameH8034.
