8 So two or three towns wandered to one town to drink water,but they were not satisfied;yet you did not return to Me,says the Lord.
9 I struck you with blight and mildew.Locusts devoured your many gardens and vineyards,your fig trees and olive trees;yet you did not return to Me,says the Lord.
10 Pestilence like that of EgyptI sent against you.By the sword I killed your young men;your horses were taken captive.The stench of your camps I brought up into your nostrils;yet you did not return to Me,says the Lord.
11 I destroyed some of you,as God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.You were like a firebrand plucked out of the fire;yet you did not return to Me,says the Lord.
12 Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel,and because I will do this to you,prepare to meet your God, O Israel!
13 The One who forms the mountainsand creates the wind,who reveals His thoughts to man,who turns the darkness into dawnand strides on the heights of the earth—the Lord, the God of Hosts, is His name.
