Amos 4:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 People from two or three towns
would stagger to a neighboring town to drink water,
yet their thirst remained unquenched.
Yet even then you would not return to me,
says the Lord.
9 I struck you with mildew and blight,
I laid waste your gardens and vineyards;
the locust devoured your fig trees and your olive trees,
but still you would not return to me,
says the Lord.
10 I sent among you a plague like that of Egypt,
and I slaughtered your young men with the sword.
I allowed your horses to be captured;
I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camps.
And still you would not return to me,
says the Lord.
