Amos 4:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸So the people of^[a] two or three cities staggered away to another^[b] city
in order to obtain drinking water,
but you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.

⁹“I afflicted you with blight and fungus;
    and the locust swarm devoured the harvest
        of your gardens, your vineyards, your fig trees, and your olive trees,
    but you have not returned to me,”
        declares the Lord.

¹⁰“I sent plagues among you as I did with Egypt.
    I killed your choicest young men with the sword.
I took your horses away from you.
    I filled your noses with the stench of your encampments,
but you have not returned to me,”
    declares the Lord.
