8:11 Be certain of this, the time is coming,” says the sovereign Lord,
“when I will send a famine through the land –
not a shortage of food or water
but an end to divine revelation!
8:12 People will stagger from sea to sea,
and from the north around to the east.
They will wander about looking for a revelation from the Lord,
but they will not find any.
8:13 In that day your beautiful young women and your young men will faint from thirst. 8:14 These are the ones who now take oaths in the name of the sinful idol goddess of Samaria.
They vow, ‘As surely as your god lives, O Dan,’ or ‘As surely as your beloved one lives, O Beer Sheba!’
But they will fall down and not get up again.”
