Amos 5:16-20
16ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635, the LordH136, “There is 1wailingH4553 in allH3605 the plazasH7339, And in allH3605 the streetsH2351 they sayH559, ‘AlasH1930! AlasH1930!’ They also callH7121 the 2farmerH406 to mourningH60 And 34professionalH3045 mournersH3045 to lamentationH5092.17And in allH3605 the 5vineyardsH3754 there is wailingH4553, BecauseH3588 I will passH5674 through the midstH7130 of you,” saysH559 the LordH3068.
18AlasH1945, you who are longingH183 for the 6dayH3117 of the LordH3068, For whatH4100 purposeH2088 will the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 be to you? It will be 7darknessH2822 and not lightH216;19As whenH3512 a manH376 8fleesH5127 from a lionH738 And a bearH1677 meetsH6293 him, 9Or goesH935 homeH1004, leansH5564 his handH3027 againstH5921 the wallH7023 And a snakeH5175 bitesH5391 him.20Will not the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 be 10darknessH2822 insteadH3808 of lightH216, Even gloomH651 with noH3808 brightnessH5051 in it?
