Jeremiah 2:30
English Standard Version
30 In vain have I (A)struck your children;
they took no correction;
(B)your own sword devoured your prophets
like a ravening lion.
Jeremiah 5:3
English Standard Version
3 O Lord, do not your eyes look for truth?
(A)You have struck them down,
but they felt no anguish;
you have consumed them,
but they refused to take correction.
(B)They have made their faces harder than rock;
they have refused to repent.
Amos 4:6-12
English Standard Version
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;
8 so two or three cities (E)would wander to another city
to drink water, and would not be satisfied;
(F)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
9 (G)“I struck you with blight and mildew;
your many gardens and your vineyards,
your fig trees and your olive trees (H)the locust devoured;
(I)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
10 “I sent among you a pestilence (J)after the manner of Egypt;
I killed your young men with the sword,
and (K)carried away your horses,[a]
and (L)I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
(M)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
11 “I overthrew some of you,
(N)as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
and you were (O)as a brand[b] plucked out of the burning;
(P)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
because I will do this to you,
prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”
