Amos 8:9-12 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

⁹And in that day,

declares the Lord GOD,

I will make the sun go down at noon,

and I will darken the earth in the daytime.

¹⁰I will turn your feasts into mourning

and all your songs into lamentation.

I will cause everyone to wear sackcloth

and every head to be shaved.

I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son,

and its outcome like a bitter day.

¹¹Behold, the 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 a famine of hearing the words of the LORD.

¹²People will stagger from sea to sea

and roam from north to east,

seeking the word of the LORD,

but they will not find it.

— Amos 8:9-12
