Amos 8:7-10
7The Lord has 1sworn by the 2pride of Jacob, “Indeed, I will 3never forget any of their deeds.8Because of this will not the land 4quake And everyone who dwells in it 5mourn? Indeed, all of it will 6rise up like the Nile, And it will be tossed about And subside like the Nile of Egypt.9It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord God, “That I will make the 7sun go down at noon And 8make the earth dark in 9broad daylight.10Then I will 10turn your festivals into mourning And all your songs into 11lamentation; And I will bring 12sackcloth on everyone’s loins And baldness on every head. And I will make it 13like a time of mourning for an only son, And the end of it will be like a bitter day.
