Amos 8:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ I, the Lord, won't forget
    any of this,
though you take great pride
    in your ancestor Jacob.^[a]
8 Your country will tremble,
    and you will mourn.
It will be like the Nile River
that rises and overflows,
    then sinks back down.

⁹ On that day, I, the Lord God,
will make the sun
    go down at noon,
and I will turn daylight
    into darkness.
