Amos 8:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ The land will tremble because of this.
Everyone who lives in it will mourn.
The entire land will rise like the Nile,
be tossed about, and then sink like Egypt’s river.

⁹ On that day, declares the Almighty Lord,
I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.
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.
