8. The earth will tremble for your deeds,and everyone will mourn.The ground will rise like the Nile River at floodtime;it will heave up, then sink again.
9. “In that day,” says the Sovereign lord,“I will make the sun go down at noonand darken the earth while it is still day.
10. I will turn your celebrations into times of mourningand your singing into weeping.You will wear funeral clothesand shave your heads to show your sorrow—as if your only son had died.How very bitter that day will be!
11. “The time is surely coming,” says the Sovereign lord,“when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread or waterbut of hearing the words of the lord.
