And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, the sun shall go down at noon, and the light shall be darkened on the earth by day:
10
and I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make them as the mourning of a beloved , and those with them as a day of grief.

14
they who swear by the propitiation of Samaria, and who say, Thy god, O Dan, lives; and, Thy god, O Bersabee, lives; and they shall fall, and shall no more rise again.
