Amos 5:16 - 5:20

16 Therefore thus says Yahweh God of hosts, the Lord,

“There is wailing in all the plazas,

And in all the streets they say, ‘Alas! Alas!’

They also call the farmer to mourning

And professional weepers to wailing.

And in all the vineyards there is wailing

Because I will pass through the midst of you,” says Yahweh.

Woe, you who are longing for the day of Yahweh,

For what purpose will the day of Yahweh be to you?

It will be darkness and not light;

As when a man flees from a lion

And a bear meets him;

Or he goes home, leans his hand against the wall,

And a snake bites him.

Will not the day of Yahweh be darkness instead of light,

Even thick darkness with no brightness in it?
