“I (A)struck you with scorching wind and mildew;
The (B)caterpillar was devouring
Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees and olive trees;
Yet you have (C)not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
10 “I sent a (D)plague among you [a]as in Egypt;
I (E)killed your young men with the sword, along with your (F)captured horses,
And I made the (G)stench of your camp rise up in your nostrils;
Yet you have (H)not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
11 “I overthrew you, as (I)God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
And you were like a (J)log snatched from a fire;
Yet you have (K)not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
