הִנֵּה ׀ יָמִים בָּאִים נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה וְהִשְׁלַחְתִּי רָעָב בָּאָרֶץ לֹא־רָעָב לַלֶּחֶם וְלֹא־צָמָא לַמַּיִם כִּי אִם־לִשְׁמֹעַ אֵת דִּבְרֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃
Behold, days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine for bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord:

Rashi
וְנָעוּ מִיָּם עַד־יָם וּמִצָּפוֹן וְעַד־מִזְרָח יְשׁוֹטְטוּ לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־דְּבַר־יְהֹוָה וְלֹא יִמְצָֽאוּ׃
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.
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.
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא תִּתְעַלַּפְנָה הַבְּתוּלֹת הַיָּפוֹת וְהַבַּחוּרִים בַּצָּמָֽא׃
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
Rashi
תתעלפנה. תפרח רוחם כמו ויתעלף (יונה ד) וכן עצי השדה עולפו (יחזקאל ל״א:ד׳-ה׳) וכן בלשון משנה יתעלפה פשמיי"ר בלע"ז:
shall faint Heb. תִּתְעַלַּפְנָה. Their spirit shall fly out. Cf. (Jonah 4:8) “And he fainted (וַיִּתְעַלָּף).” And so, (Ezekiel 31:15) “The trees of the field fainted (עֻלְפֶּה) for him.” And so in the language of the Mishnah (Chullin 3b): “He may faint (נִתְעַלְּפָה),” pasmer, (pamer) in French. [from Dunash p.84]
הַנִּשְׁבָּעִים בְּאַשְׁמַת שֹֽׁמְרוֹן וְאָמְרוּ חֵי אֱלֹהֶיךָ דָּן וְחֵי דֶּרֶךְ בְּאֵֽר־שָׁבַע וְנָפְלוּ וְלֹא־יָקוּמוּ עֽוֹד׃ {פ}
They that swear by the sin of Shomeron, and say, As thy god, O Dan, lives; and As the road to Be᾽er-sheva lives; they shall fall, and never rise up again.
They that swear by the sin of Shomeron, and say, As thy god, O Dan, lives; and As the road to Be᾽er-sheva lives; they shall fall, and never rise up again.
Rashi
חי אלהיך דן. אחד מן העגלים שהעמיד ירבעם בדן:
“As your god lives, O Dan,”—One of the calves that Jeroboam erected in Dan.
כי אם לשמוע. שתפסוק מכם רוח הקדש:
but to hear—for the holy spirit shall terminate from them.
