Amos 4:4-13
4“Enter Bethel and do wrong; In Gilgal multiply wrongdoing! 1Bring your sacrifices every morning, Your tithes every three days.52Offer a 3thanksgiving offering also from that which is leavened, And proclaim 45voluntary offerings, make them known. For so you 6love to do, you sons of Israel,” Declares the Lord God.
6“But I gave you also 7cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in all your places; Yet you have 8not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.7“Furthermore, I 9withheld the rain from you While there were still three months until harvest. Then I would send rain on one city, But on 10another city I would not send rain; One part would be rained on, While the part not rained on would dry up.8So the people of two or three cities would stagger to another city to drink 11water, But would 12not be satisfied; Yet you have 13not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.9“I 14struck you with scorching wind and mildew; The 15caterpillar was devouring Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees and olive trees; Yet you have 16not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.10“I sent a 17plague among you 18as in Egypt; I 19killed your young men with the sword, along with your 20captured horses, And I made the 21stench of your camp rise up in your nostrils; Yet you have 22not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.11“I overthrew you, as 23God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, And you were like a 24log snatched from a fire; Yet you have 25not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.12“Therefore so I will do to you, Israel; Because I will do this to you, Prepare to 26meet your God, Israel.”13For behold, He who 27forms mountains and 28creates the wind, And 29declares to a person what are His thoughts, He who 30makes dawn into darkness And 31treads on the high places of the earth, 32The Lord God of armies is His name.
