6“But I gave you also acleanness of teeth in all your cities
And lack of bread in all your places,
Yet you have bnot returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.
7“And I also awithheld the rain from you
While there were still three months until harvest.
Then I would send rain on one city,
And on banother city I would not send rain;
One portion would be rained on,
While the portion not rained on would dry up.
8“So two or three cities would wander around to another city to drink awater,
But would bnot be satisfied;
Yet you have cnot returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.

And the bgnawing locust was devouring
Your many gardens and vineyards, fig trees, and olive trees;
Yet you have cnot returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.

I bkilled your choice men by the sword along with your ccaptured horses,
And I made the dstench of your camp rise up even in your nostrils;
Yet you have enot returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.

“And I in turn gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places. Yet you did not return to me,” is the declaration of Yahweh. “And I also withheld the rain from you when there were still three months to the harvest. And I would send rain on one city and send no rain on another city. One tract of land will be rained on, and the tract of land on which it does not rain will dry up. So two or three cities wandered to one city to drink water and they were not satisfied, yet you did not return to me,” is the declaration of Yahweh. “I struck you with blight and with mildew. Frequently the cutting locust devoured your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees, yet you did not return to me,” is the declaration of Yahweh. “I sent among you a plague in the manner of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with the captivity of your horses. And I made the stench of your camps go up into your nostrils, yet you did not return to me,” is the declaration of Yahweh.

KJV 1900King James Version
And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
And want of bread in all your places:
Yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
And also I have withholden the rain from you,
When there were yet three months to the harvest:
And I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city:
One piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water;
But they were not satisfied:
Yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
I have smitten you with blasting and mildew:
When your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased,
The palmerworm devoured them:
Yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt:
Your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses;
And I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils:
Yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
