Amos 4:5-7
Living Bible

5 Go through all your proper forms and give extra offerings. How you pride yourselves and crow about it everywhere!

6 “I sent you hunger,” says the Lord, “but it did no good; you still would not return to me. 7 I ruined your crops by holding back the rain three months before the harvest. I sent rain on one city but not another. While rain fell on one field, another was dry and withered.

Amos 4:5-7
New International Version

5 Burn leavened bread(A) as a thank offering
    and brag about your freewill offerings(B)—
boast about them, you Israelites,
    for this is what you love to do,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.

6 “I gave you empty stomachs in every city
    and lack of bread in every town,
    yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(C)

7 “I also withheld(D) rain from you
    when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
    but withheld it from another.(E)
One field had rain;
    another had none and dried up.
