¹¹ “The days are coming,”^(A) declares the Sovereign Lord,
    “when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
    but a famine^(B) of hearing the words of the Lord.^(C)
12 People will stagger from sea to sea
    and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the Lord,
    but they will not find it.^(D)

“the lovely young women and strong young men^(E)
    will faint because of thirst.^(F)
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria^(G)—
    who say, ‘As surely as your god lives, Dan,’^(H)
    or, ‘As surely as the god^[a] of Beersheba^(I) lives’—
    they will fall,^(J) never to rise again.^(K)”
