Amos 4:12

God's Discipline And Israel's Apostasy

¹¹ And I have sent destruction among you, as when God sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick pulled out of the fire: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord. ¹² So this is what I will do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, be ready for a meeting with your God, O Israel. ¹³ For see, he who gave form to the mountains and made the wind, giving knowledge of his purpose to man, who makes the morning dark, and is walking on the high places of the earth: the Lord, the God of armies, is his name.
