God’s Discipline and Israel’s Apostasy

I gave you absolutely nothing to eat[a](A) in all your cities,
a shortage of food in all your communities,
yet you did not return to me.(B)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

I also withheld the rain from you(C)
while there were still three months until harvest.
I sent rain on one city
but no rain on another.(D)
One field received rain
while a field with no rain withered.(E)
Two or three cities staggered
to another city to drink water(F)
but were not satisfied,(G)
yet you did not return(H) to me.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
