Amos 8:9-11

New Century Version

“At that time I will cause the sun to go down at noon
    and make the earth dark on a bright day.
¹⁰ I will change your festivals into days of crying for the dead,
    and all your songs will become songs of sadness.
I will make all of you wear rough cloth to show your sadness;
    I will make you shave your heads as well.
I will make it like a time of crying for the death of an only son,
    and its end like the end of an awful day.”

¹¹ The Lord God says: “The days are coming
    when I will cause a time of hunger in the land.
The people will not be hungry for bread or thirsty for water,
    but they will be hungry for words from the Lord.
