New Testament

Amos 4:8-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. And two and three cities went to one city, in order to drink water, and they were not satisfied. And you did not return to me, says the Lord.

9. I struck you with a burning wind and with yellowing; the caterpillar has consumed your many gardens and your vineyards, your olive groves and your fig groves. And you did not return to me, says the Lord.

10. I sent death to you by way of Egypt; I struck your youths with the sword, even bringing captivity to your horses. And I made the stench of your camp ascend into your nostrils. And you did not return to me, says the Lord.

11. I overturned you, just as God overturned Sodom and Gomorrah, and you became like an ember seized from the fire. And you did not return to me, says the Lord.

12. Because of this, I will do these things to you, Israel. But after I have done these things to you, Israel, be prepared to meet your God.

13. For behold, he who forms the mountains and creates the wind and announces his speech to man, who makes the morning mist and steps over the heights of the earth: the Lord God of hosts is his name.
