Amos 8:13

Read in context

Amos 8:11–14 · Berean Standard Bible

11 Behold, the 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 a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.

12 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.

13 In that day the lovely young women— the young men as well— will faint from thirst.

14 Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, ‘As surely as your god lives, O Dan,’ or, ‘As surely as the way of Beersheba lives’— they will fall, never to rise again.”
