Amos 8:9-11

The Voice

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.

Eternal One: The days are coming
        when I will send a famine on the land—
    Not a hunger for food or thirst for water,
        but starvation for the words of the Eternal.
