Amos 4:6-13

English Standard Version

⁷ “I also ^(C)withheld the rain from you
    when there were yet three months to the harvest;
^(D)I would send rain on one city,
    and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
    and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
⁸ so two or three cities ^(E)would wander to another city
    to drink water, and would not be satisfied;
^(F)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.

^9 (G)“I struck you with blight and mildew;
    your many gardens and your vineyards,
    your fig trees and your olive trees ^(H)the locust devoured;
^(I)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.

¹⁰ “I sent among you a pestilence ^(J)after the manner of Egypt;
    I killed your young men with the sword,
and ^(K)carried away your horses,^[a]
    and ^(L)I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
^(M)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.

¹¹ “I overthrew some of you,
    ^(N)as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
    and you were ^(O)as a brand^[b] plucked out of the burning;
^(P)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!”

¹³ For behold, ^(Q)he who forms the mountains and creates the wind,
    and ^(R)declares to man what is his thought,
^(S)who makes the morning darkness,
    and ^(T)treads on the heights of the earth—
    ^(U)the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!
