Amos 4:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Three months before harvest,
    I kept back the rain.
Sometimes I would let it fall
    on one town or field
but not on another,
    and pastures dried up.
⁸ People from two or three towns
    would go to a town
that still had water,
    but it wasn't enough.
Even then you rejected me.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!
