Amos 4:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ Bring offerings to show me
    how thankful you are.
Gladly bring more offerings
than I have demanded.
    You really love to do this.
I, the Lord God, have spoken!

^6 (A) I, the Lord, took away the food
from every town and village,
    but still you rejected me.
⁷ Three months before harvest,
    I kept back the rain.
Sometimes I would let it fall
    on one town or field
but not on another,
    and pastures dried up.
