⁹ “Many times I kept your gardens and vineyards from growing.
    I sent hot winds to dry them up completely.
Locusts ate up your fig and olive trees.
    In spite of that, you still have not returned to me,”
    announces the Lord.

¹⁰ “I sent plagues on you,
    just as I did on Egypt.
I killed your young men by swords.
    I also let the horses you had captured be killed.
I filled your noses with the stink of your camps.
    In spite of that, you still have not returned to me,”
    announces the Lord.

¹¹ “I destroyed some of you,
    just as I did Sodom and Gomorrah.
You were like a burning stick that was pulled out of the fire.
    In spite of that, you still have not returned to me,”
    announces the Lord.
