Amos 8:11-14 ▼

11 |Look! The days are coming,| declares the Lord GOD, |when I will send a famine throughout the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water— but rather a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.

12 People will stagger from sea to sea, from north to east. They will run back and forth, searching for a message from the LORD, but they won't find it.

13 At that time, the beautiful virgins will faint, as will the strong young men—from thirst.

14 Those who have been swearing oaths by the sin of Samaria, or who say, 'As your god lives, Dan...' or who say, 'As the way of Beer-sheba lives...'— will fall, and will never rise again.|
