Amos 8:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 On that day—oracle of the Lord God—
I will make the sun set at midday
and in broad daylight cover the land with darkness.
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning
and all your songs into dirges.
I will cover the loins of all with sackcloth
and make every head bald.
I will make it like the time of mourning for an only child,
and its outcome like a day of bitter weeping.(A)
11 See, days are coming—oracle of the Lord God—
when I will send a famine upon the land:
Not a hunger for bread, or a thirst for water,
but for hearing the word of the Lord.
Amos 8:9-11
New International Version
9 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord,
“I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.(A)
10 I will turn your religious festivals(B) into mourning
and all your singing into weeping.(C)
I will make all of you wear sackcloth(D)
and shave(E) your heads.
I will make that time like mourning for an only son(F)
and the end of it like a bitter day.(G)
