A Basket Of Ripe Fruit

10 So will I turn your festivals into mourning, and all your songs into a dirge, and I will bring up - on all loins - sackcloth, and upon every head - baldness, - and I will make it like the mourning for an only one, even the afterpart thereof, as a day of bitterness. 11 Lo! days are coming, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, that I will send a hunger throughout the land, - not a hunger for food, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Yahweh; 12 Therefore shall men rove about - from sea to sea, and from the north even unto sunrise, - they shall run to and fro - seeking the word of Yahweh, but shall not find it .
