    “when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
    but a famine^(B) of hearing the words of the Lord.^(C)
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.^(D)

    will faint because of thirst.^(F)

⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.^(A)

²¹ Blessed are you who hunger now,
    for you will be satisfied.^(A)
Blessed are you who weep now,
    for you will laugh.^(B)
