Amos 5:16-20

16This is what the Lord, the Almighty God of Armies, says: There will be loud crying in every city square, and people will say in every street, “Oh, no!” They will call on farmers to mourn and on professional mourners to cry loudly.

17There will be loud crying in every vineyard, because I will pass through your land ⌞with death⌟. The Lord has said this.

18How horrible it will be for those who long for the day of the Lord! Why do you long for that day? The day of the Lord is one of darkness and not light.

19It is like a person who flees from a lion only to be attacked by a bear. It is like a person who goes home and puts his hand on the wall only to be bitten by a snake.

20The day of the Lord brings darkness and not light. It is pitch black, with no light.
