11. “The time is surely coming,” says the Sovereign lord,“when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread or waterbut of hearing the words of the lord.
12. People will stagger from sea to seaand wander from border to bordersearching for the word of the lord,but they will not find it.
13. Beautiful girls and strong young menwill grow faint in that day,thirsting for the lord’s word.
14. And those who swear by the shameful idols of Samaria—who take oaths in the name of the god of Danand make vows in the name of the god of Beersheba—they will all fall down,never to rise again.”
