And lack of bread in all your places;
m Yet you have not returned to Me,"

"I also withheld rain from you,
When there were still three months to the harvest.
I made it rain on one city,
I withheld rain from another city.
One part was rained upon,
And where it did not rain the part withered.

But they were not satisfied;
Yet you have not returned to Me,"
Says the LORD.

When your gardens increased,
Your vineyards,
Your fig trees,
And your olive trees,
o The locust devoured them;
Yet you have not returned to Me,"
Says the LORD.
10
"I sent among you a plague p after the manner of Egypt;
Your young men I killed with a sword,
Along with your captive horses;
I made the stench of your camps come up into your nostrils;
Yet you have not returned to Me,"
Says the LORD.
11
"I overthrew some of you,
As God overthrew q Sodom and Gomorrah,
And you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning;
Yet you have not returned to Me,"
Says the LORD.
12
"Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel;
Because I will do this to you,
r Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!"

For behold,
He who forms mountains,
And creates the 2 wind,
s Who declares to man what 3 his 3 thought is,
And makes the morning darkness,
t Who treads the high places of the earth -
u The LORD God of hosts is His name.
