“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)
12 People will stagger from sea to sea
    and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the Lord,
    but they will not find it.^(K)

⁹ “Therefore I will take away my grain^(A) when it ripens,
    and my new wine^(B) when it is ready.
I will take back my wool and my linen,
    intended to cover her naked body.
¹⁰ So now I will expose^(C) her lewdness
    before the eyes of her lovers;^(D)
    no one will take her out of my hands.^(E)
11 I will stop^(F) all her celebrations:^(G)
    her yearly festivals, her New Moons,
    her Sabbath days—all her appointed festivals.^(H)
12 I will ruin her vines^(I) and her fig trees,^(J)
    which she said were her pay from her lovers;^(K)
I will make them a thicket,^(L)
    and wild animals will devour them.^(M)
13 I will punish her for the days
    she burned incense^(N) to the Baals;^(O)
she decked herself with rings and jewelry,^(P)
    and went after her lovers,^(Q)
    but me she forgot,^(R)”
declares the Lord.^(S)

¹⁴ “Therefore I am now going to allure her;
    I will lead her into the wilderness^(T)
    and speak tenderly to her.
