    The first part of Amos 4:6 is interesting . How literal does one need to be in translating this ? Here are a number of English renderings .

    NKJ -- Also I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities

    ESV&NRSV -- I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities

    NASU -- But I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities

    MLB -- But on my part , I have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities

    NJB -- I even gave you clean teeth in all your cities

    REB -- It was I who brought starvation to all your towns

    TNIV -- I gave you empty stomachs in every city

    NIrV -- I made sure your stomachs were empty in every city

    NET -- But surely I gave you no food to eat in any of your cities

    NLT -- I brought hunger to every city

    HCS -- I gave you absolutely nothing to eat
