10. I will turn your feasts into mourning,and all your songs into dirges;I will put sackcloth upon all loins,and baldness on every head;I will make it like the mourning for an only child,and its end like a bitter day.
11. The time is coming, says 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 will wander from sea to sea,and from north to east;they will run back and forth to seek the word of the Lord,but they will not find it.
13. On that day the beautiful maidens and the young menwill faint with thirst.
14. Those who swear by Ashimah of Samaria, and say,“By the life of your god, O Dan,”and, “By the life of the way of Beersheba”—they shall falland never rise again.
