Amos 8:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ “The land will tremble because of what will happen.
    Everyone who lives in it will mourn.
So the whole land will rise like the Nile River.
    It will be stirred up.
Then it will settle back down again
    like that river in Egypt.”

“At that time I will make the sun go down at noon.
    The earth will become dark in the middle of the day.
¹⁰ I will turn your holy feasts into times for mourning.
    I will turn all your songs into weeping.
You will have to wear the clothing of sadness.
    You will shave your heads.
I will make you mourn as if your only son had died.
    The end of that time will be like a bitter day.”
