18AlasH1945, you who are longingH183 for the 1dayH3117 of the LordH3068, For whatH4100 purposeH2088 will the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 be to you? It will be 2darknessH2822 and not lightH216;19As whenH3512 a manH376 3fleesH5127 from a lionH738 And a bearH1677 meetsH6293 him, 4Or goesH935 homeH1004, leansH5564 his handH3027 againstH5921 the wallH7023 And a snakeH5175 bitesH5391 him.20Will not the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 be 5darknessH2822 insteadH3808 of lightH216, Even gloomH651 with noH3808 brightnessH5051 in it?
