Amos 8:8-10

The Voice

⁸    Won’t the land beneath their feet tremble for this,
        and everyone who lives in it mourn?
    The ground will rise and fall like the river Nile, which floods and recedes;
        it will ripple and roll like the current of Egypt’s Nile.

⁹The Eternal Lord says,

Eternal One: On that day, I will make the sun set at noon
        and send darkness across the earth when it should be broad daylight.
¹⁰    I will turn your celebrations into mourning
        and all your singing into wailing.
    I will make it so that all wear mourning sackcloth
        and every head is shaved out of sadness.
    It will be like the grief you feel at the death of an only child,
        and it will be a bitter day by the end.
