Amos 8:11-13

New Living Translation

¹¹ “The time is surely coming,” says the Sovereign Lord,
    “when I will send a famine on the land—
not a famine of bread or water
    but of hearing the words of the Lord.
¹² People will stagger from sea to sea
    and wander from border to border^[a]
searching for the word of the Lord,
    but they will not find it.
¹³ Beautiful girls and strong young men
    will grow faint in that day,
    thirsting for the Lord’s word.
