“Furthermore, I withheld the rain from you
When there were still three months until the harvest.
Then I would send rain on one city,
And on another city I would not send rain;
One piece of ground was rained on,
While the part not rained on would dry up.

“So [the people of] two or three cities would stagger into one city to drink water,
But would not be satisfied;
Yet you have not returned to Me [in repentance],” says the Lord.

“I wounded you with blight [from the hot, blasting east wind] and with mildew;
And the caterpillar devoured
Your many gardens and vineyards, your fig trees and your olive trees;
Yet you have not returned to Me [in repentance],” says the Lord.

“I also withheld(A) rain from you
    when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
    but withheld it from another.(B)
One field had rain;
    another had none and dried up.
People staggered from town to town for water(C)
    but did not get enough(D) to drink,
    yet you have not returned(E) to me,”
declares the Lord.(F)

“Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards,
    destroying them with blight and mildew.(G)
Locusts(H) devoured your fig and olive trees,(I)
    yet you have not returned(J) to me,”
declares the Lord.
