Amos 4:6-11

6“But I gave you also 1cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in all your places; Yet you have 2not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.7“Furthermore, I 3withheld the rain from you While there were still three months until harvest. Then I would send rain on one city, But on 4another 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 5water, But would 6not be satisfied; Yet you have 7not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.9“I 8struck you with scorching wind and mildew; The 9caterpillar was devouring Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees and olive trees; Yet you have 10not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.10“I sent a 11plague among you 12as in Egypt; I 13killed your young men with the sword, along with your 14captured horses, And I made the 15stench of your camp rise up in your nostrils; Yet you have 16not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.11“I overthrew you, as 17God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, And you were like a 18log snatched from a fire; Yet you have 19not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
