Amos 5:18-20

18Alas, you who are longing for the 1day of the Lord, For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you? It will be 2darkness and not light;19As when a man 3flees from a lion And a bear meets him, 4Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall And a snake bites him.20Will not the day of the Lord be 5darkness instead of light, Even gloom with no brightness in it?
