¹¹ The days are going to come, declares the Almighty Lord,
when I will send a famine throughout the land.
It won’t be an ordinary famine or drought.
Instead, there will be a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.
¹² People will wander from sea to sea
and roam from the north to the east,
searching for the Lord’s word.
But they won’t find it.

¹³ On that day beautiful young women and strong young men
will faint because of their thirst.
