And lack of bread in all your places;
aYet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.
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.
But they were not satisfied;
Yet you have not returned to Me,”
Says the Lord.
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.
