Amos 8:12 in Context — Amos 8
10 E tornarei vossas festas em luto, e todas as vossas canções em pranto; e farei com que todos se vistam de saco, e se façam calvas sobre todas as cabeças; e farei com que haja luto como de um filho único, e seu fim será como um dia amargo.
11 Eis que vêm dias,diz o Senhor DEUS, nos quais enviarei fome à terra; fome não de pão, nem sede de água, mas sim de ouvir as palavras do SENHOR.
12 E irão sem rumo de mar a mar, do norte até o oriente; correrão de um lado para o outro em busca da palavra do SENHOR, mas não a encontrarão.
13 Naquele tempo as belas virgens e os rapazes desmaiarão de sede.
14 Quanto aos que juram pelo pecado de Samaria, e dizem: Vive o teu deus de Dã; e: Vive o caminho de Berseba; esses cairão, e nunca mais se levantarão.
