Amos 8:8-10
Christian Standard Bible
8 Because of this, won’t the land quake(A)
and all who dwell in it mourn?(B)
All of it will rise like the Nile;(C)
it will surge and then subside
like the Nile in Egypt.(D)
9 And in that day—
this is the declaration of the Lord God—
I will make the sun go down at noon;(E)
I will darken the land in the daytime.(F)
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning(G)
and all your songs into lamentation;(H)
I will cause everyone[a] to wear sackcloth(I)
and every head to be shaved.(J)
I will make that grief
like mourning for an only son(K)
and its outcome like a bitter day.

Amos 8:8-10
New International Version
8 “Will not the land tremble(A) for this,
and all who live in it mourn?
The whole land will rise like the Nile;
it will be stirred up and then sink
like the river of Egypt.(B)
9 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord,
“I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.(C)
10 I will turn your religious festivals(D) into mourning
and all your singing into weeping.(E)
I will make all of you wear sackcloth(F)
and shave(G) your heads.
I will make that time like mourning for an only son(H)
and the end of it like a bitter day.(I)
