Amos 5:16-20
16ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, the Lord: WailingH5092 shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall sayH559 in all the streetsH2351, AlasH1930! alasH1930! and they shall callH7121 the husbandman to mourningH60, and such as are skilful in lamentation to wailingH5092. 17And in all vineyardsH3754 shall be wailingH4553; for I will passH5674 through the midstH7130 of thee, saith Jehovah.
18WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183 the dayH3117 of Jehovah! Wherefore would ye have the dayH3117 of Jehovah? It is darknessH2822, and not lightH216. 19As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 from a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004 and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpent bit him. 20Shall not the dayH3117 of Jehovah be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very dark, and no brightnessH5051 in it?
