AMOS
- One piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
- So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water;
- But they were not satisfied:
- Yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
- I have smitten you with blasting and mildew:
- When your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased,
- The palmerworm devoured them:
- Yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
- I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt:
- Your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses;
- And I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils:
- Yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
- I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
- And ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning:
- Yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
- Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel:
- And because I will do this unto thee,
- Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
- For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind,
