Amos 8:9 in Context — Amos 8

7 O SENHOR jurou pela glória de Jacó: Eu nunca me esquecerei das obras deles.

8 A terra não se abalará por causa disto, e todo habitante dela não chorará? Certamente ela se levantará como um rio, se agitará, e se afundará como o rio do Egito.

9 E será naquele dia,diz o Senhor DEUS, que farei o sol se pôr ao meio-dia, e escurecerei a terra no dia claro.

10 E tornarei vossas festas em luto, e todas as vossas canções em pranto; e farei com que todos se vistam de saco, e se façam calvas sobre todas as cabeças; e farei com que haja luto como de um filho único, e seu fim será como um dia amargo.

11 Eis que vêm dias,diz o Senhor DEUS, nos quais enviarei fome à terra; fome não de pão, nem sede de água, mas sim de ouvir as palavras do SENHOR.
