Amos 4:6-11 ▼

6 |I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven't returned to me,| says the LORD.

7 |I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One place was rained on, and the piece where it did not rain withered.

8 So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied: yet you haven't returned to me,| says the LORD.

9 |I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards; and your fig trees and your olive trees have the swarming locust devoured: yet you haven't returned to me,| says the LORD.

10 |I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven't returned to me,| says the LORD.

11 |I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven't returned to me,| says the LORD.
