Amos 8:9-11
Christian Standard Bible
9 And in that day—
this is the declaration of the Lord God—
I will make the sun go down at noon;(A)
I will darken the land in the daytime.(B)
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning(C)
and all your songs into lamentation;(D)
I will cause everyone[a] to wear sackcloth(E)
and every head to be shaved.(F)
I will make that grief
like mourning for an only son(G)
and its outcome like a bitter day.
11 Look, the days are coming—
this is the declaration of the Lord God—
when I will send a famine through the land:
not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord.(H)
