¹² People will stagger from sea to sea
    and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the Lord,
    but they will not find it.^(A)

“the lovely young women and strong young men^(B)
    will faint because of thirst.^(C)
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria^(D)—
    who say, ‘As surely as your god lives, Dan,’^(E)
    or, ‘As surely as the god^[a] of Beersheba^(F) lives’—
    they will fall,^(G) never to rise again.^(H)”
