⁷ “I held back the rain from you
    three months before harvest time.
Then I let it rain on one city
    but not on another.
Rain fell on one field,
    but another field got none and dried up.
⁸ People weak from thirst went from town to town for water.
    But they could not get enough water to drink.
    But you still did not come back to me,” says the Lord.
⁹ “I made your crops die from disease and mildew.
    I destroyed your gardens and your vineyards.
Locusts ate your fig trees and olive trees.
    But you still did not come back to me,” says the Lord.
