Amos 8:10-12
Names of God Bible
10 I will turn your festivals into funerals
and all your songs into funeral songs.
I will put sackcloth around everyone’s waist
and shave everyone’s head.
I will make that day seem like a funeral for an only child,
and its end will be bitter.
11 The days are going to come, declares Adonay Yahweh,
when I will send a famine throughout the land.
It won’t be an ordinary famine or drought.
Instead, there will be a famine of hearing the words of Yahweh.
12 People will wander from sea to sea
and roam from the north to the east,
searching for the word of Yahweh.
But they won’t find it.
Amos 8:10-12
New International Version
10 I will turn your religious festivals(A) into mourning
and all your singing into weeping.(B)
I will make all of you wear sackcloth(C)
and shave(D) your heads.
I will make that time like mourning for an only son(E)
and the end of it like a bitter day.(F)
11 “The days are coming,”(G) declares the Sovereign Lord,
“when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine(H) of hearing the words of the Lord.(I)
12 People will stagger from sea to sea
and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the Lord,
but they will not find it.(J)
