“I brought hunger to every city
    and famine to every town.
But still you would not return to me,”
    says the Lord.

“I kept the rain from falling
    when your crops needed it the most.
I sent rain on one town

    but there was never enough.
But still you would not return to me,”
    says the Lord.
