Amos 8:10
I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation. I will cause everyone to wear sackcloth and every head to be shaved. I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son, and its outcome like a bitter day.
Context
10“Then I will turn your festivals into mourning
         And all your songs into lamentation;
         And I will bring sackcloth on everyone’s loins
         And baldness on every head.
         And I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son,
         And the end of it will be like a bitter day.

11“Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord GOD,
         “When I will send a famine on the land,
         Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,
         But rather for hearing the words of the LORD.

12“People will stagger from sea to sea
         And from the north even to the east;
         They will go to and fro to seek the word of the LORD,
         But they will not find it.

13“In that day the beautiful virgins
         And the young men will faint from thirst.

14As for those who swear by the guilt of Samaria,
         Who say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’
         And, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’
         They will fall and not rise again.”
