Amos 8:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

“Look, the days are coming
    when I will cause a famine in the land.
The people will not be hungry for bread.
    They will not be thirsty for water.
    No, they will be hungry for words from the Lord.
¹² The people will wander around the country,
    from the Dead Sea to the Mediterranean Sea,
    and from the north part of the country to the east.
They will go back and forth looking for a message from the Lord,
    but they will not find it.
¹³ At that time the beautiful young men and women
    will become weak from thirst.
