11 “Behold, days are coming”
—declares my Lord Adonai
“when I will send a famine on the land
—not a famine of bread
    nor a thirst for water,
    but of hearing the words of Adonai.[a]
12 So people will wander from sea to sea
and roam from north to east,
searching for the word of Adonai,
but they will not find it.
13 In that day, the fair virgins and the virile young men
will faint from thirst.
