4“Go to Bethel and transgress;
rebel even more at Gilgal!
Bring your sacrifices every morning,
your tithes every three days.
5Offer leavened bread as a thank offering,
and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings.
For that is what you children of Israel love to do,”
6“I beset all your cities with cleanness of teeth
and all your towns with lack of bread,
yet you did not return to Me,”
7“I also withheld the rain from you
when the harvest was three months away.
I sent rain on one city
but withheld it from another.
One field received rain;
another without rain withered.
8People staggered from city to city
for water to drink,
but they were not satisfied;
yet you did not return to Me,”
9“I struck you with blight and mildew
in your growing gardens and vineyards;
the locust devoured your fig and olive trees,
yet you did not return to Me,”
— Amos 4:4-9
