Amos 4:6-8

International Standard Version

Israel’s Refusal to Return to God

⁶“I also have scheduled^[a] food shortages^[b] for you in all of your cities,
and lack of bread in all of your settlements,
but you haven’t returned to me,”
declares the Lord.

⁷“I therefore have withheld the rain from you
    three months before the harvest,
causing rain to come upon one city,
    but not upon another,
and upon one field
    but not upon another,
        so that it would wither.
⁸So the people of^[c] two or three cities staggered away to another^[d] city
    in order to obtain drinking water,
but you have not returned to me,”
    declares the Lord.
