"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of the Lord, and shall not find it" (Amos 8:11,12).
Behold, the day of famine comes,
No, not for thirst and not for bread,
But like the fading beat of drums,
We shall not hear what God has said.
Oh, awful day by famine cursed
That even now we've seen and heard!
Familiar hunger, dreadful thirst,
Are all around us for God's Word!
