Amos 8:10-12

New American Standard Bible

¹⁰ Then I will ^(A)turn your festivals into mourning,
And all your songs into songs of mourning;
And I will put ^(B)sackcloth around everyone’s waist,
And ^[a]baldness on every head.
And I will make it ^(C)like a time of mourning for an only son,
And the end of it will be like a bitter day.

¹¹ “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“When I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
But rather ^(D)for hearing the words of the Lord.
¹² People will stagger from sea to sea
And from the north even to the east;
They will roam about to ^(E)seek the word of the Lord,
But they will not find it.
