Thematic Bible: Dearth


Thematic Bible



"As for the poor, the needy, those seeking water when there is none and their tongues are parched from thirst I, the LORD, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, won't abandon them.

Therefore my people go into exile because they lack understanding; my honored men go hungry, and the crowd is parched with thirst.



You'll be like an oak whose leaf is withering, like an unwatered garden.

He will be like a bush in the desert, and he won't see when good comes. He will dwell in parched places in the wilderness, a land of salt, without inhabitants.

At that time, the beautiful virgins will faint, as will the strong young men from thirst.
