Offer up hametz as a thank offering,
call out about freewill offerings—
    boast about it!
For so you love to do, Bnei-Yisrael.”
It is the declaration of my Lord Adonai.

Yet You Have Not Returned

“So also, I myself have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities
and lack of bread in all your places—
yet you have not returned to Me,”
    declares Adonai.
“Also I myself have withheld from you
    the rain—when three months remain to the harvest,
I caused it to rain on one city,
    while on another city I sent no rain;
one piece of ground would get rain,
    while the portion not rained on would wither.

    and lack of bread in every town,
    yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(C)

“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.

And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
