Amos 8:12-14

Contemporary English Version

¹²You will search everywhere—
from north to south,
    from east to west.
You will go all over the earth,
    seeking a message
from me, the Lord.
    But you won't find one.

¹³Your beautiful young women
and your young men
    will faint from thirst.
¹⁴You made promises
to the goddess Ashimah
    at Samaria;
you made vows to other gods
at the shrines
    of Dan and Beersheba.^[a]
So now you will fall
    and never get up.
