Amos 4:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ I dried up your grain fields;
your gardens and vineyards
    turned brown.
Locusts^[a] ate your fig trees
    and olive orchards,
but even then you rejected me.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

¹⁰ I did terrible things to you,
    just as I did to Egypt—
I killed your young men in war;
    I let your horses be stolen,
and I made your camp stink
    with dead bodies.
Even then you rejected me.
    I, the Lord, have spoken!

^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!
