Amos 4:3–9

3

You will go out at the breaks in the wall,

everyone straight before her;

and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says the LORD.

4

“Go to Bethel, and sin;

to Gilgal, and sin more.

Bring your sacrifices every morning,

your tithes every three days,

5

offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened,

and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them;

for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord GOD.

Selected verse

“I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,

and lack of bread in every town;

yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.

7

“I also have withheld the rain from you,

when there were yet three months to the harvest;

and I caused it to rain on one city,

and caused it not to rain on another city.

One field was rained on,

and the field where it didn’t rain withered.

8

So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water,

and were not satisfied;

yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.

9

“I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards,

and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees;

yet you haven’t returned to me,” says the LORD.
