Amos 8:9-11

Tree of Life Version

⁹ “It will be in that day”
—declares my Lord Adonai—
“I will make the sun go down at noon,
yes, I will darken the earth in daylight.
¹⁰ I will turn your festivals into mourning
    and all your songs into a dirge.^[a]
I will pull up sackcloth on every waist
    and baldness on every head.
I will make it like the mourning for an only son—
    its end a bitter day.”^[b]
11 “Behold, days are coming”
—declares my Lord Adonai—
“when I will send a famine on the land
—not a famine of bread
    nor a thirst for water,
    but of hearing the words of Adonai.^[c]
