Amos 8:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 8:9

7 The Lord has sworn by ^athe pride of Jacob:
“Surely ^bI will never forget any of their works.

8 ^aShall the land not tremble for this,
And everyone mourn who dwells in it?
All of it shall swell like¹ the River,
Heave and subside
^bLike the River of Egypt.

9 “And it shall come to pass in that day,” says the Lord God,
^a“That I will make the sun go down at noon,
And I will darken the earth in¹ broad daylight;

10 I will turn your feasts into ^amourning,
^bAnd all your songs into lamentation;
^cI will bring sackcloth on every waist,
And baldness on every head;
I will make it like mourning for an only son,
And its end like a bitter day.

11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But ^aof hearing the words of the Lord.

12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
But shall ^anot find it.
