Amos 8:11 in Context — Amos 8
9 En ce jour-là, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel, Je ferai coucher le soleil à midi, Et j’obscurcirai la terre en plein jour;
10 Je changerai vos fêtes en deuil, Et tous vos chants en lamentations, Je couvrirai de sacs tous les reins, Et je rendrai chauves toutes les têtes; Je mettrai le pays dans le deuil comme pour un fils unique, Et sa fin sera comme un jour d’amertume.
11 Voici, les jours viennent, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel, Où j’enverrai la famine dans le pays, Non pas la disette du pain et la soif de l’eau, Mais la faim et la soif d’entendre les paroles de l’Éternel.
12 Ils seront alors errants d’une mer à l’autre, Du septentrion à l’orient, Ils iront çà et là pour chercher la parole de l’Éternel, Et ils ne la trouveront pas.
13 En ce jour, les belles jeunes filles et les jeunes hommes mourront de soif.
