Amos 8:12

A Basket Of Ripe Fruit

¹¹ “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“When I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,
But rather 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 go to and fro to seek the word of the Lord,
But they will not find it.
¹³ “In that day the beautiful virgins
And the young men will faint from thirst.
