Amos 8:9-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 On that day, says the Lord God,
I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.(A)
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning
and all your songs into lamentation;
I will bring sackcloth on all loins
and baldness on every head;
I will make it like the mourning for an only son
and the end of it like a bitter day.(B)
11 The time is surely coming, says the Lord God,
when I will send a famine on the land,
not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
but of hearing the words of the Lord.(C)
12 They shall wander from sea to sea
and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
but they shall not find it.(D)

and wander from north to east,

but they will not find it.(K)
