One field received rain; another without rain withered. 8 People staggered from city to city for water to drink, but they were not satisfied; yet you did not return to Me,” declares the LORD. 9 “I struck you with blight and mildew in your growing gardens and vineyards; the locust devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you did not return to Me,” declares the LORD.
