Amos 4:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Pestilence have I sent among you after the manner of [a]Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses: and I have made the stink of your tents to come up even into your nostrils, yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
11 I have overthrown you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah: and ye were as a [b]firebrand plucked out of the burning, yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do thus unto thee, prepare to [c]meet thy God, O Israel.

New International Version
10 “I sent plagues(A) among you
as I did to Egypt.(B)
I killed your young men(C) with the sword,
along with your captured horses.
I filled your nostrils with the stench(D) of your camps,
yet you have not returned to me,”(E)
declares the Lord.(F)
11 “I overthrew some of you
as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.(G)
You were like a burning stick(H) snatched from the fire,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(I)
12 “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel,
and because I will do this to you, Israel,
prepare to meet your God.”
