11 I, the Lord, also promise youa terrible shortage,but not of food and water.You will hunger and thirstto hear my message.
12 You will search everywhere—from north to south,from east to west.You will go all over the earth,seeking a messagefrom me, the Lord.But you won't find one.
13 Your beautiful young womenand your young menwill faint from thirst.
14 You made promisesto the goddess Ashimahat Samaria;you made vows to other godsat the shrinesof Dan and Beersheba.So now you will falland never get up.
