Amos 4:6-11 ▼

6 But surely I gave you no food to eat in any of your cities; you lacked food everywhere you live. Still you did not come back to me.| The LORD is speaking!

7 I withheld rain from you three months before the harvest. I gave rain to one city, but not to another. One field would get rain, but the field that received no rain dried up.

8 People from two or three cities staggered into one city to get water, but remained thirsty. Still you did not come back to me.| The LORD is speaking!

9 I destroyed your crops with blight and disease. Locusts kept devouring your orchards, vineyards, fig trees, and olive trees. Still you did not come back to me.| The LORD is speaking!

10 I sent against you a plague like one of the Egyptian plagues. I killed your young men with the sword, along with the horses you had captured. I made the stench from the corpses rise up into your nostrils. Still you did not come back to me.| The LORD is speaking!

11 I overthrew some of you the way God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched from the flames. Still you did not come back to me.| The LORD is speaking!
