\u201cI gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
\n and lack of bread in all your places,
\nyet you did not return to me,\u201d
\n says the Lord.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I also withheld the rain from you
\n when there were yet three months to the harvest;
\nI would send rain upon one city,
\n and send no rain upon another city;
\none field would be rained upon,
\n and the field on which it did not rain withered;
\nso two or three cities wandered to one city
\n to drink water, and were not satisfied;
\nyet you did not return to me,\u201d
\n says the Lord.<\/p>\n
\u201cI smote you with blight and mildew;
\n I laid waste your gardens and your vineyards;
\n your fig trees and your olive trees the locust devoured;
\nyet you did not return to me,\u201d
\n says the Lord.<\/p>\n
\u201cI sent among you a pestilence after the manner of Egypt;
\n I slew your young men with the sword;
\nI carried away your horses;
\n and I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
\nyet you did not return to me,\u201d
\n says the Lord.<\/p>\n
\u201cI overthrew some of you,
\n as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomor\u2032rah,
\n and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning;
\nyet you did not return to me,\u201d
\n says the Lord.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
\n because I will do this to you,
\n prepare to meet your God, O Israel!\u201d<\/p>\n
For lo, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind,
\n and declares to man what is his thought;
\nwho makes the morning darkness,
\n and treads on the heights of the earth\u2014
\nthe Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!<\/p>\n
