And call for freewill offerings; cause them to be heard about.

While the portion not rained on would dry up.

But would not be satisfied;

Yet you have not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.

“I overthrew you as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,

And you were like a firebrand [fn]delivered from a blaze;

Yet you have not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.

Because I will do this to you,

Prepare to meet your God, O Israel.”

For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind

And declares to man what are His thoughts,

He who makes dawn into gloom

And treads on the high places of the earth,

Yahweh God of hosts is His name.
