¹¹ “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“When I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
But rather ^(A)for hearing the words of the Lord.
¹² People will stagger from sea to sea
And from the north even to the east;
They will roam about to ^(B)seek the word of the Lord,
But they will not find it.
¹³ On that day the beautiful ^(C)virgins
And the young men will ^(D)faint from thirst.
