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.
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.
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.
Because I will do this to you,
aPrepare to meet your God, O Israel!”
He who forms mountains,
And creates the1 wind,
aWho declares to man what1 his thought is,
And makes the morning darkness,
bWho treads the high places of the earth—
cThe Lord God of hosts is His name.

Amos 4:11
I have overthrown some of you - In the destruction of your cities I have shown my judgments as signally as I did in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah; and those of you that did escape were as "brands plucked out of the fire;" if not consumed, yet much scorched. And as the judgment was evidently from my hand, so was the deliverance; "and yet ye have not returned unto me, saith the Lord."
