7. “I also withheld the rain from youwhen there were yet three months to the harvest; I would send rain on one city,and send no rain on another city;one field would have rain,and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
8. so two or three cities would wander to another cityto drink water, and would not be satisfied; yet you did not return to me,”declares the Lord.
9. “I struck you with blight and mildew;your many gardens and your vineyards,your fig trees and your olive trees the locust devoured; yet you did not return to me,”declares the Lord.
10. “I sent among you a pestilence after the manner of Egypt;I killed your young men with the sword,and carried away your horses,and I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils; yet you did not return to me,”declares the Lord.
11. “I overthrew some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet you did not return to me,”declares the Lord.
12. “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;because I will do this to you,prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”
