Amos 8:9-10

9And it will come about on that day,” declares the Lord God, “That I will make the 1sun go down at noon, And 2make the earth dark in 3broad daylight.10Then I will 4turn your festivals into mourning, And all your songs into songs of mourning; And I will put 5sackcloth around everyone’s waist, And 6baldness on every head. And I will make it 7like a time of mourning for an only son, And the end of it will be like a bitter day.
