Amos 8:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 I will turn your feasts into mourning
and all your songs into dirges.
I will cover the loins of all with sackcloth
and make every head bald.
I will make it like the time of mourning for an only child,
and its outcome like a day of bitter weeping.(A)
11 See, days are coming—oracle of the Lord God—
when I will send a famine upon the land:
Not a hunger for bread, or a thirst for water,
but for hearing the word of the Lord.
12 They shall stagger from sea to sea
and wander from north to east
In search of the word of the Lord,
but they shall not find it.(B)
Amos 8:10-12
New International Version
10 I will turn your religious festivals(A) into mourning
and all your singing into weeping.(B)
I will make all of you wear sackcloth(C)
and shave(D) your heads.
I will make that time like mourning for an only son(E)
and the end of it like a bitter day.(F)
11 “The days are coming,”(G) declares the Sovereign Lord,
“when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine(H) of hearing the words of the Lord.(I)
12 People will stagger from sea to sea
and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the Lord,
but they will not find it.(J)
