13 “In that day

“the lovely young women and strong young men

will faint because of thirst.

14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria—

who say, ‘As surely as your god lives, Dan,’

or, ‘As surely as the god of Beersheba lives’—

they will fall, never to rise again.”

13 “In that day the lovely virgins and the young men

shall faint for thirst.

14 Those who swear by the Guilt of Samaria,

and say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’

and, ‘As the Way of Beersheba lives,’

they shall fall, and never rise again.”

13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria,

And say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth;

And, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth;

Even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

13 Beautiful girls and strong young men

will grow faint in that day,

thirsting for the Lord’s word.

14 And those who swear by the shameful idols of Samaria—

who take oaths in the name of the god of Dan

and make vows in the name of the god of Beersheba—

they will all fall down,

never to rise again.”

13 At that time the beautiful young women and the young men

will become weak from thirst.

14 They make promises by the idol in Samaria

and say, ‘As surely as the god of Dan lives …’

and, ‘As surely as the god of Beersheba lives, we promise …’

So they will fall

and never get up again.”

13 In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, As the way of Beer-sheba liveth; they shall fall, and never rise up again.

13 In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst; 14 they that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As thy god, O Dan, liveth! and, As the way of Beer-sheba liveth! even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

13 On that day beautiful young women and strong young men 

will faint because of their thirst. 

14 ⸤How horrible it will be for⸥ those who swear by Ashimah, 

the idol of Samaria, and say, 

“I solemnly swear, Dan, as your god lives.…” 

“I solemnly swear as long as there is a road to Beersheba.…” 

Those who say this will fall and never get up again. 

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.

13 In that day the beautiful young women and the young men

shall faint for thirst.

14 Those who swear by Ashimah of Samaria,

and say, “As your god lives, O Dan,”

and, “As the way of Beer-sheba lives”—

they shall fall, and never rise again.

13 In that day the beautiful young women and the young men will faint because of thirst. 14 These are those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, ‘By the life of your gods, O Dan,’ and ‘By the life of the way of Beersheba,’ they will fall and they will not rise again.”

13 “At that time

“the lovely young women and strong young men

will faint because they are so thirsty.

14 Some people take oaths in the name

of Samaria’s shameful god.

Others say, ‘People of Dan, you can be sure

that your god is alive.’

Still others say, ‘You can be sure

that Beersheba’s god is alive.’

But all of those people will fall dead.

They will never get up again.”

13 “In that day the beautiful virgins

And the young men will faint from thirst.

14 “As for those who swear by the guilt of Samaria,

Who say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’

And, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’

They will fall and not rise again.”
