10. I will turn your feasts into mourningand all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on every waist and baldness on every head; I will make it like the mourning for an only sonand the end of it like a bitter day.
11. “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,“when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord.
12. They shall wander from sea to sea,and from north to east;they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord, but they shall not find it.
13. “In that day the lovely virgins and the young menshall faint for thirst.
14. Those who swear by the Guilt of Samaria,and say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’and, ‘As the Way of Beersheba lives,’they shall fall, and never rise again.”
