“I therefore have withheld the rain from you
    three months before the harvest,
causing rain to come upon one city,
    but not upon another,
and upon one field
    but not upon another,
        so that it would wither.
So the people of[a] two or three cities staggered away to another[b] city
    in order to obtain drinking water,
but you have not returned to me,”
    declares the Lord.

“I afflicted you with blight and fungus;
    and the locust swarm devoured the harvest
        of your gardens, your vineyards, your fig trees, and your olive trees,
    but you have not returned to me,”
        declares the Lord.
