Amos 8:9-11

New King James Version

⁹ “And it shall come to pass in that day,” says the Lord God,
^(A)“That I will make the sun go down at noon,
And I will darken the earth in ^[a]broad daylight;
¹⁰ I will turn your feasts into ^(B)mourning,
^(C)And all your songs into lamentation;
^(D)I will bring sackcloth on every waist,
And baldness on every head;
I will make it like mourning for an only son,
And its end like a bitter day.

¹¹ “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But ^(E)of hearing the words of the Lord.
