Amos 4:7-9
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
7 And also I withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest. I caused it to rain upon one city and caused it not to rain upon another city; one piece of ground was rained upon, and the piece upon which it did not rain withered.
8 So [the people of] two or three cities wandered and staggered into one city to drink water, but they were not satisfied; yet you did not return to Me, says the Lord.
9 I smote you with blight [from the poisonous east wind] and with mildew; I laid waste the multitude of your gardens and your vineyards; your fig trees and your olive trees the palmerworm [a form of locust] devoured; yet you did not return to Me, says the Lord.

Amos 4:7-9
New International Version
7 “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.
8 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)
