Amos 4:6-7
New King James Version
Israel Did Not Accept Correction
6 “Also I gave you [a]cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
And lack of bread in all your places;
(A)Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.
7 “I also withheld rain from you,
When there were still three months to the harvest.
I made it rain on one city,
I withheld rain from another city.
One part was rained upon,
And where it did not rain the part withered.

Joel 1:13
New King James Version
Mourning for the Land
13 (A)Gird yourselves and lament, you priests;
Wail, you who minister before the altar;
Come, lie all night in sackcloth,
You who minister to my God;
For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.
Joel 1:5-9
New King James Version
5 Awake, you (A)drunkards, and weep;
And wail, all you drinkers of wine,
Because of the new wine,
(B)For it has been cut off from your mouth.
6 For (C)a nation has come up against My land,
Strong, and without number;
(D)His teeth are the teeth of a lion,
And he has the fangs of a [a]fierce lion.
7 He has (E)laid waste My vine,
And [b]ruined My fig tree;
He has stripped it bare and thrown it away;
Its branches are made white.
8 (F)Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth
For (G)the husband of her youth.
9 (H)The grain offering and the drink offering
Have been cut off from the house of the Lord;
The priests (I)mourn, who minister to the Lord.
Isaiah 62:8-9
New King James Version
8 The Lord has sworn by His right hand
And by the arm of His strength:
“Surely I will no longer (A)give your grain
As food for your enemies;
And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine,
For which you have labored.
9 But those who have gathered it shall eat it,
And praise the Lord;
Those who have brought it together shall drink it (B)in My holy courts.”
Isaiah 3:7

7 In that day he will protest, saying,
“I cannot cure your ills,
For in my house is neither food nor clothing;
Do not make me a ruler of the people.”
