The sun » Illustrative » (going down at noon,) of premature destruction
In that day," says the sovereign Lord, "I will make the sun set at noon, and make the earth dark in the middle of the day.
The mother who had seven children will grow faint. All the breath will go out of her. Her pride and joy will be taken from her in the prime of their life. It will seem as if the sun had set while it was still day. She will suffer shame and humiliation. I will cause any of them who are still left alive to be killed in war by the onslaughts of their enemies," says the Lord.
