So the people of two or three cities would stagger to another city to drink (A)water,
But would (B)not be satisfied;
Yet you have (C)not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
“I (D)struck you with scorching wind and mildew;
The (E)caterpillar was devouring
Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees and olive trees;
Yet you have (F)not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
10 “I sent a (G)plague among you [a]as in Egypt;
I (H)killed your young men with the sword, along with your (I)captured horses,
And I made the (J)stench of your camp rise up in your nostrils;
Yet you have (K)not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
