5. Burn leavened bread as a thanksgiving sacrifice,proclaim publicly your voluntary offerings,For so you love to do, Israelites—oracle of the Lord God.
6. Though I made your teethclean of food in all your cities,and made bread scarce in all your dwellings,Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
7. And I withheld the rain from youwhen the harvest was still three months away;I sent rain upon one citybut not upon another;One field was watered by rain,but the one I did not water dried up;
8. Two or three cities staggered to another to drink waterbut were not satisfied;Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
9. I struck you with blight and mildew;locusts devoured your gardens and vineyards,the caterpillar consumed your fig trees and olive trees;Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
10. I sent upon you pestilence like that of Egypt;with the sword I killed your young men and your captured horses,and to your nostrils I brought the stench of your camps;Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
11. I overthrew youas when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah;you were like a brand plucked from the fire,Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
12. Therefore thus I will do to you, Israel:and since I will deal thus with you,prepare to meet your God, O Israel!
13. The one who forms mountains and creates winds,and declares to mortals their thoughts;Who makes dawn into darknessand strides upon the heights of the earth,the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!
