[a]Offer a (A)thanksgiving offering also from that which is leavened,
And proclaim (B)[b]voluntary offerings, make them known.
For so you (C)love to do, you sons of Israel,”
Declares the Lord God.

“But I gave you also (D)cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
And lack of bread in all your places;
Yet you have (E)not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
“Furthermore, I (F)withheld the rain from you
While there were still three months until harvest.
Then I would send rain on one city,
But on (G)another city I would not send rain;
One part would be rained on,
While the part not rained on would dry up.
