Amos 8:8-10

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸ “Because of this will not the land ^(A)quake
And everyone who dwells in it ^(B)mourn?
Indeed, all of it will ^(C)rise up like the Nile,
And it will be tossed about
And subside like the Nile of Egypt.
⁹ “It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord God,
“That I will make the ^(D)sun go down at noon
And ^(E)make the earth dark in ^[a]broad daylight.
¹⁰ “Then I will ^(F)turn your festivals into mourning
And all your songs into ^[b]lamentation;
And I will bring ^(G)sackcloth on everyone’s loins
And baldness on every head.
And I will make it ^(H)like a time of mourning for an only son,
And the end of it will be like a bitter day.
