Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Amos 8:10

_ _ baldness — a sign of mourning (Isaiah 15:2; Jeremiah 48:37; Ezekiel 7:18).

_ _ I will make it as ... mourning of an only son — “it,” that is, “the earth” (Amos 8:9). I will reduce the land to such a state that there shall be the same occasion for mourning as when parents mourn for an only son (Jeremiah 6:26; Zechariah 12:10).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Amos 8:4-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Amos 8:10

Upon all loins — All sorts of persons shall put on mourning. Baldness — Shaving the head and beard was a sign of the greatest sadness. A bitter day — A bitter day, which you shall wish you had never seen, shall succeed your dark night.
