Amos 8:8-10

New Living Translation

⁸ The earth will tremble for your deeds,
    and everyone will mourn.
The ground will rise like the Nile River at floodtime;
    it will heave up, then sink again.

⁹ “In that day,” says the Sovereign Lord,
“I will make the sun go down at noon
    and darken the earth while it is still day.
¹⁰ I will turn your celebrations into times of mourning
    and your singing into weeping.
You will wear funeral clothes
    and shave your heads to show your sorrow—
as if your only son had died.
    How very bitter that day will be!
