Amos 8:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸ The whole land will shake because of it.
    Everyone who lives in the land will cry for those who died.
The whole land will rise like the Nile.
    It will be shaken, and then it will fall
    like the Nile River in Egypt.”

“At that time I will cause the sun to go down at noon.
    I will make the earth dark on a clear day.
¹⁰ I will change your festivals into days of crying for the dead.
    All your songs will become songs of sadness for the dead.
I will make all of you wear rough cloth to show your sadness.
    You will shave your heads to show sadness.
I will make that day like the crying for the death of an only son.
    Its end will be very painful.”
