11“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord GOD,
         “When I will send a famine on the land,
         Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,
         But rather for hearing the words of the LORD.

12“People will stagger from sea to sea
         And from the north even to the east;
         They will go to and fro to seek the word of the LORD,
         But they will not find it.

13“In that day the beautiful virgins
         And the young men will faint from thirst.

14“As for those who swear by the guilt of Samaria,
         Who say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’
         And, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’
         They will fall and not rise again.”
