10 I will turn your feasts into mourning,
    and all your songs into lamentation;
I will bring sackcloth on all loins,
    and baldness on every head;
I will make it like the mourning for an only son,
    and the end of it like a bitter day.

    when I will send a famine on the land;
not a famine of bread, or a thirst for water,
    but of hearing the words of the Lord.

    and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
    but they shall not find it.
