The Lord God says:
“·At that time [L In that day] I will cause the sun to go down at noon
    and make the earth dark ·on a bright day [in broad daylight].
10 I will change your festivals into ·days of crying for the dead [mourning],
    and all your songs will become ·songs of sadness [dirges; lamentation; weeping].
I will ·make all of you wear rough cloth to show your sadness [L put sackcloth on every waist];
    ·I will make you shave your heads as well [L …and baldness on every head].
I will make it like ·a time of crying [mourning] for the death of an only son,
    and its end like the end of an ·awful [bitter] day.”

11 The Lord God says: “[L Look; T Behold] The days are coming
    when I will ·cause a time of hunger in [send a famine throughout] the land.
·The people will not be hungry for bread or thirsty for water [L … not a famine of food or a thirst for water],
    but ·they will be hungry for words from [L for hearing the words of] the Lord.
