Amos 8:8-10
Complete Jewish Bible
8 Won’t the land tremble for this,
and everyone mourn, who lives in the land?
It will all rise, just like the Nile,
be in turmoil and subside, like the Nile in Egypt.
9 “When that time comes,” says Adonai Elohim,
“I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.
10 I will turn your festivals into mourning
and all your songs into wailing;
I will make you all put sackcloth around your waists
and shave your heads bald in grief.
I will make it like mourning for an only son
and its end like a bitter day.
Amos 8:8-10
New American Standard Bible
8 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.
9 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.
