Israel Did Not Accept Correction

6 “Also I gave you1 cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
And lack of bread in all your places;
aYet 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.
8 So two or three cities wandered to another city to drink water,
But they were not satisfied;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.
9 “Ia blasted you with blight and mildew.
When your gardens increased,
Your vineyards,
Your fig trees,
And your olive trees,
bThe locust devoured them;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord. 
10 “I sent among you a plague aafter the manner of Egypt;
Your young men I killed with a sword,
Along with your captive horses;
I made the stench of your camps come up into your nostrils;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord. 
11 “I overthrew some of you,
As God overthrew aSodom and Gomorrah,
And you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord. 
12 “Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel;
Because I will do this to you,
aPrepare to meet your God, O Israel!”
