    from the north to the east.

    but they won’t find it.

    will ·become weak [faint] from thirst.

    and say, ‘As surely as the god of Dan lives … [1 Kin. 12:29]
    and, ‘As surely as the ·god of [L way to; C perhaps the pilgrimage route to the pagan worship there] Beersheba lives, we promise….’ [C Dan was the city farthest north in Israel and Beersheba farthest south.]
So they will fall
    and never get up again.”
