Amos 8:7-10

7The LordH3068 has 1swornH7650 by the 2prideH1347 of JacobH3290, “IndeedH518, I will 3neverH518H5331 forgetH7911 anyH3605 of their deedsH4639.8BecauseH5921 of thisH2088 will the landH776 not 4quakeH7264, And everyoneH3605 who livesH3427 in it 5mournH56? Indeed, allH3605 of it will 6riseH5927 upH5927 like the NileH2975, And it will be tossedH1644 aboutH1644 And subsideH8257 like the NileH2975 of EgyptH4714.9And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 on that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “That I will make the 7sunH8121 goH935 down at noonH6672, And 8makeH2821 the earthH776 darkH2821 in 9broadH216 daylightH3117H216.10Then I will 10turnH2015 your festivalsH2282 into mourningH60, And allH3605 your songsH7892 into songsH7015 ofH7015 mourningH7015; And I will putH5927 11sackclothH8242 aroundH5921 everyone’sH3605 waistH4975, And 12baldnessH7144 on everyH3605 headH7218. And I will makeH7760 it 13like a time of mourningH60 for an onlyH3173 sonH3173, And the endH319 of it will be like a bitterH4751 dayH3117.
