And lack of bread in all your places,

“Furthermore, I (C)withheld the rain from you
While there were still three months until harvest.
Then I would send rain on one city
And on (D)another city I would not send rain;
One part would be rained on,
While the part not rained on would dry up.

But would (F)not be satisfied;
Yet you have (G)not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.

“I (H)smote you with scorching wind and mildew;
And the (I)caterpillar was devouring
Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees and olive trees;
Yet you have (J)not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.

“I sent a (K)plague among you after the manner of Egypt;
I (L)slew your young men by the sword along with your (M)captured horses,
And I made the (N)stench of your camp rise up in your nostrils;
Yet you have (O)not returned to Me,” declares the Lord.
