Amos 4:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ “I also held back rain from you.
    The time to harvest crops
    was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town.
    But I held it back from another.
One field had rain.
    But another had no rain and dried up.
⁸ People wandered from town to town to look for water.
    But they did not get enough to drink.
In spite of that, you still have not returned to me,”
    announces the Lord.

⁹ “Many times I kept your gardens and vineyards from growing.
    I sent hot winds to dry them up completely.
Locusts ate up your fig and olive trees.
    In spite of that, you still have not returned to me,”
    announces the Lord.
