(A)Shall not the land tremble on this account,
    and everyone mourn who dwells in it,
(B)and all of it rise like the Nile,
    and be tossed about (C)and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?”

“And on that day,” declares the Lord God,
    (D)“I will make the sun go down at noon
    and darken the earth in broad daylight.
10 (E)I will turn your feasts into mourning
    and all your songs into lamentation;
(F)I will bring sackcloth on every waist
    (G)and baldness on every head;
(H)I will make it like the mourning for an only son
    and the end of it like a bitter day.
