Israel Has Not Returned to the Lord
6 “I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
and (A)lack of bread in all your places,
(B)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
7 “I also (C)withheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
(D)I would send rain on one city,
and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
and the field on which it did not rain would wither;

5 Awake, you drunkards, and weep,
and (A)wail, all you drinkers of wine,
because of (B)the sweet wine,
for it is cut off from your mouth.
6 For (C)a nation has come up against my land,
(D)powerful and beyond number;
(E)its teeth are lions' teeth,
and it has the fangs of a lioness.
7 It has laid waste my vine
and splintered my (F)fig tree;
it has stripped off their bark and thrown it down;
their branches are made white.
8 Lament like a virgin[a] (G)wearing sackcloth
for the bridegroom of her youth.
9 (H)The grain offering and the drink offering are cut off
from the house of the Lord.
(I)The priests mourn,
(J)the ministers of the Lord.
