Amos 4:6-8
Living Bible
6 “I sent you hunger,” says the Lord, “but it did no good; you still would not return to me. 7 I ruined your crops by holding back the rain three months before the harvest. I sent rain on one city but not another. While rain fell on one field, another was dry and withered. 8 People from two or three cities would make their weary journey for a drink of water to a city that had rain, but there wasn’t ever enough. Yet you wouldn’t return to me,” says the Lord.

Amos 4:6-8
New International Version
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.(A)
7 “I also withheld(B) rain from you
when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
but withheld it from another.(C)
One field had rain;
another had none and dried up.
8 People staggered from town to town for water(D)
but did not get enough(E) to drink,
yet you have not returned(F) to me,”
declares the Lord.(G)

Amos 4:6-8
King James Version
6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
