Amos 4:10-12
The Message
10 “I revisited you with the old Egyptian plagues,
killed your choice young men and prize horses.
The stink of rot in your camps was so strong
that you held your noses—
But you didn’t notice me.
You continued to ignore me.”
God’s Decree.
11 “I hit you with earthquake and fire,
left you devastated like Sodom and Gomorrah.
You were like a burning stick
snatched from the flames.
But you never looked my way.
You continued to ignore me.”
God’s Decree.
12 “All this I have done to you, Israel,
and this is why I have done it.
Time’s up, O Israel!
Prepare to meet your God!”
Amos 4:10-12
New International Version
10 “I sent plagues(A) among you
as I did to Egypt.(B)
I killed your young men(C) with the sword,
along with your captured horses.
I filled your nostrils with the stench(D) of your camps,
yet you have not returned to me,”(E)
declares the Lord.(F)
11 “I overthrew some of you
as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.(G)
You were like a burning stick(H) snatched from the fire,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(I)
12 “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel,
and because I will do this to you, Israel,
prepare to meet your God.”
