8. So two [or] three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 9. I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured [them]: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 10. I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. 11. I have overthrown [some] of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

Commentary

Commentary on Amos 4:8

Theological / Devotional

Two or three cities. Because of the lack of rain there was a great scarcity of water, which fact made it necessary to go great distances to get it.

Wandered. Literally, “wavered,” or “moved unsteadily.” This indicates the exhausted condition of the people because of thirst.

Not returned. See on v. 6.
