12 People will wander from sea to sea
    and roam from the north to the east,
        searching for the word of Yahweh.
            But they won’t find it.

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,[a]
    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.
