Amos 4:10-12
Complete Jewish Bible
10 “I sent a plague on you like that of Egypt,
put your young men to death with the sword;
let your horses be captured;
and filled your nostrils with the stench of your camps;
still you haven’t returned to me,” says Adonai.
11 “I overthrew some of you,
as when God overthrew S’dom and ‘Amora;
you were like a burning stick snatched from the fire;
still you haven’t returned to me,” says Adonai.
12 “This is why I will deal with you in this way, Isra’el;
and because I will deal with you in this way,
prepare to meet your God, Isra’el —
Amos 4:10-12
English Standard Version
10 “I sent among you a pestilence (A)after the manner of Egypt;
I killed your young men with the sword,
and (B)carried away your horses,[a]
and (C)I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
(D)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
11 “I overthrew some of you,
(E)as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
and you were (F)as a brand[b] plucked out of the burning;
(G)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
because I will do this to you,
prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”
