8:11Be certain of this,36 the time is37 coming,” says the sovereign Lord,
“when I will send a famine through the land—
not a shortage of food or water
but an end to divine revelation!38

and from the north around to the east.
They will wander about looking for a revelation from41 the Lord,
but they will not find any.42
8:13In that day your43 beautiful young women44 and your45 young men will faint from thirst.46

“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“when I will send a famine on the land—
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord.
They shall wander from sea to sea,
and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,
but they shall not find it.
“In that day the lovely virgins and the young men
shall faint for thirst.

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.
“In that day
“the lovely young women and strong young men
will faint because of thirst.

Look, the days are coming—
this is the declaration of the Lord God—
when I will send a famine through the land:
not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord.
People will stagger from sea to sea
and roam from north to east
seeking the word of the Lord,
but they will not find it.
In that day the beautiful young women,
the young men also, will faint from thirst.

“The time is surely coming,” says the Sovereign Lord,
“when I will send a famine on the land—
not a famine of bread or water
but of hearing the words of the Lord.
People will stagger from sea to sea
and wander from border to border
searching for the word of the Lord,
but they will not find it.
Beautiful girls and strong young men
will grow faint in that day,
thirsting for the Lord’s word.
