Amos 4:4-11
New International Version
4 “Go to Bethel(A) and sin;
go to Gilgal(B) and sin yet more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,(C)
your tithes(D) every three years.[a](E)
5 Burn leavened bread(F) as a thank offering
and brag about your freewill offerings(G)—
boast about them, you Israelites,
for this is what you love to do,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.
6 “I gave you empty stomachs in every city
and lack of bread in every town,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(H)
7 “I also withheld(I) rain from you
when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
but withheld it from another.(J)
One field had rain;
another had none and dried up.
8 People staggered from town to town for water(K)
but did not get enough(L) to drink,
yet you have not returned(M) to me,”
declares the Lord.(N)
9 “Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards,
destroying them with blight and mildew.(O)
Locusts(P) devoured your fig and olive trees,(Q)
yet you have not returned(R) to me,”
declares the Lord.
