Amos 8:10-12

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁰ Then I will ^(A)overturn your feasts into mourning
And all your songs into ^[a]lamentation;
And I will bring up ^(B)sackcloth on everyone’s loins
And baldness on every head.
And I will make it ^(C)like a time of mourning for an only son,
And the end of it will be like a bitter day.

¹¹ “Behold, days are coming,” declares Lord Yahweh,
“When I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,
But rather ^(D)for hearing the words of Yahweh.
¹² People will wander from sea to sea
And from the north even to the east;
They will go to and fro to ^(E)seek the word of Yahweh,
But they will not find it.
