they will fall, and never rise up again.”

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Amos 8:14 in context

Amos 8:11–14

Behold, the days come,” says 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 LORD’s words.

They will wander from sea to sea,

and from the north even to the east;

they will run back and forth to seek the LORD’s word,

and will not find it.

In that day the beautiful virgins

and the young men will faint for thirst.

Selected verse

Those who swear by the sin of Samaria,

and say, ‘As your god, Dan, lives,’

and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’

they will fall, and never rise up again.”
