Amos 4:6

The Lord had brought famine throughout the land to warn His people about their disobedience and His displeasure, but this judgment did not move them to repent (cf. 1 Kings 8:37-39). They had made an idol of the sacrificial system. Famine was one of the curses that God said He might bring if His people proved unfaithful to His covenant (Leviticus 26:26; Leviticus 26:29; Deuteronomy 28:17; Deuteronomy 28:48).
