Amos 4:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 I even withheld the rain from you
when there were still three months before the harvest.
I would allow rain to fall upon one town
but not upon another.
One field would be watered by rain,
while another would receive none and dry up.
8 People from two or three towns
would stagger to a neighboring town to drink water,
yet their thirst remained unquenched.
Yet even then you would not return to me,
says the Lord.
9 I struck you with mildew and blight,
I laid waste your gardens and vineyards;
the locust devoured your fig trees and your olive trees,
but still you would 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)
