Amos 8:9-12

Amos 8:9-12 NCV

The Lord GOD says: “At that time I will cause the sun to go down at noon and make the earth dark on a bright day. 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.” 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. They will wander from the Mediterranean Sea to the Dead Sea, from the north to the east. They will search for the word of the LORD, but they won’t find it.
