Because of this will the land not (A)quake,
And everyone who lives in it (B)mourn?
Indeed, all of it will (C)rise up like the Nile,
And it will be tossed about
And subside like the Nile of Egypt.
And it will come about on that day,” declares the Lord God,
“That I will make the (D)sun go down at noon,
And (E)make the earth dark in [a]broad daylight.
10 Then I will (F)turn your festivals into mourning,
And all your songs into songs of mourning;
And I will put (G)sackcloth around everyone’s waist,
And [b]baldness on every head.
And I will make it (H)like a time of mourning for an only son,
And the end of it will be like a bitter day.
