“We can buy the poor with silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals
and even sell the chaff! ”
Because of this, won’t the land quake
and all who dwell in it mourn?
All of it will rise like the Nile;
it will surge and then subside
like the Nile in Egypt.
And in that day —
this is the declaration of the Lord GOD —
I will make the sun go down at noon;
I will darken the land in the daytime.
Look, the days are coming —
this is the declaration of the Lord GOD —
when I will send a famine through the land:
not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the LORD.
People will stagger from sea to sea
and roam from north to east
seeking the word of the LORD,
but they will not find it.
