Amos 4:6-13

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ I also withheld the rain from you^(C)
while there were still three months until harvest.
I sent rain on one city
but no rain on another.^(D)
One field received rain
while a field with no rain withered.^(E)
8 Two or three cities staggered
to another city to drink water^(F)
but were not satisfied,^(G)
yet you did not return^(H) to me.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

⁹ I struck you with blight and mildew;^(I)
the locust devoured^(J)
your many gardens and vineyards,
your fig trees and olive trees,^(K)
yet you did not return to me.^(L)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

¹⁰ I sent plagues like those of Egypt;^(M)
I killed your young men with the sword,^(N)
along with your captured horses.^(O)
I caused the stench of your camp
to fill your nostrils,^(P)
yet you did not return to me.^(Q)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

¹¹ I overthrew some of you
as I^[b] overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,^(R)
and you were like a burning stick
snatched from a fire,^(S)
yet you did not return to me^(T)—
This is the Lord’s declaration.

¹² Therefore, Israel, that is what I will do to you,
and since I will do that to you,
Israel, prepare to meet your God!^(U)
13 He is here:
the one who forms the mountains,^(V)
creates the wind,^(W)
and reveals his thoughts to man,^(X)
the one who makes the dawn out of darkness
and strides on the heights of the earth.^(Y)
The Lord, the God of Armies, is his name.^(Z)
