11 “I overthrew you as (A)God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
And you were like a (B)firebrand [a]delivered from a blaze;
Yet you have (C)not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.
12 “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
Because I will do this to you,
Prepare to (D)meet your God, O Israel.”
13 For behold, He who (E)forms mountains and (F)creates the wind
And (G)declares to man what are His thoughts,
He who (H)makes dawn into gloom
And (I)treads on the high places of the earth,
(J)Yahweh God of hosts is His name.

  1. Amos 4:11 Or snatched

    as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.(A)

    yet you have not returned to me,”

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.”

13 He who forms the mountains,(D)
    who creates the wind,(E)
    and who reveals his thoughts(F) to mankind,
who turns dawn to darkness,
    and treads on the heights of the earth(G)
    the Lord God Almighty is his name.(H)
