Amos 8:9-11

New International Version

“I will make the sun go down at noon
    and darken the earth in broad daylight.^(A)
10 I will turn your religious festivals^(B) into mourning
    and all your singing into weeping.^(C)
I will make all of you wear sackcloth^(D)
    and shave^(E) your heads.
I will make that time like mourning for an only son^(F)
    and the end of it like a bitter day.^(G)

¹¹ “The days are coming,”^(H) declares the Sovereign Lord,
    “when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
    but a famine^(I) of hearing the words of the Lord.^(J)
