1 Samuel 3:1

The Lord Calls Samuel

fNow the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord in the presence of Eli. gAnd the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.


2 Chronicles 15:3

cFor a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without law,


Psalm 74:9

We do not see our lsigns;

mthere is no longer any prophet,

and there is none among us who knows how long.


Amos 8:11–12

11  Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord God,

when wI will send a famine on the land

not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,

xbut of hearing the words of the Lord.

12  xThey shall wander from sea to sea,

and from north to east;

they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,

ybut they shall not find it.
