Amos 4:3-12 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

3. And you shall go out through the breaches, every cow straight before her; and you shall cast them into the palace,

4. Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

5. And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this you love, O you children of Israel,

6. And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places: yet have you not returned unto me,

7. And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one part was rained upon, and the part upon which it rained not withered.

8. So two or three cities wandered to one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have you not returned unto me,

9. I have smitten you with blight and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the locust devoured them: yet have you not returned unto me,

10. I have sent among you a plague 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 stench of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have you not returned unto me,

11. I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have you not returned unto me,

12. Therefore thus will I do unto you, O Israel: and because I will do this unto you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.
