Amos 8:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁹ On that day, I, the Lord God,
will make the sun
    go down at noon,
and I will turn daylight
    into darkness.
¹⁰ Your festivals and joyful singing
    will turn into sorrow.
You will wear sackcloth^[a]
    and shave your heads,
as you would at the death
of your only son.
    It will be a horrible day.
