Amos 4:11-13
Contemporary English Version
Amos 4:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 (A) I destroyed many of you,
just as I did the cities
of Sodom and Gomorrah.
You were a burning stick
I rescued from the fire.
But even then you rejected me.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
12 Now, Israel, I myself
will deal with you.
Get ready to face your God!
13 I created the mountains
and the wind.
I let humans know
what I am thinking.[a]
I bring darkness at dawn
and step over hills.
I am the Lord God All-Powerful!

Amos 4:11-13
King James Version
11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The Lord, The God of hosts, is his name.
