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
New International Version
11 “I overthrew some of you
as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.(A)
You were like a burning stick(B) snatched from the fire,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(C)
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.”
