10 I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; I will cause everyone to wear sackcloth and every head to be shaved. I will make that grieflike mourning for an only son and its outcome like a bitter day.
11 Hear this! The days are coming —this is the declaration of the Lord God —when I will send a famine through the land:not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,but of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 People will stagger from sea to seaand roam from north to east,seeking the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.
13 In that day the beautiful young women, the young men also, will faint from thirst.
14 Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, “As your god lives, Dan,” or “As the way of Beer-sheba lives” —they will fall, never to rise again.
