IX] :And I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins,
 * And baldness upon every head;
 * And I will make it as the mourning of an only son,
 * And the end thereof as a bitter day.


 * Behold, the days come, saith 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 words of the Lord:
 * And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east,
 * They shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
 * In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
 * They that swear by the sin of Samaria,
 * And say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth;
 * And, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth;
 * Even they shall fall, and never rise up again.


 * the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said,
 * Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake:
 * And cut them in the head, all of them;
 * And I will slay the last of them with the sword:
 * He that fleeth of them shall not flee away,
 * And he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.
 * Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them;
