Amos 5:18-20

18Woe to you who are longing for the 1day of the Lord, For what 2purpose will the day of the Lord be to you? It will be 3darkness and not light;19As when a man 4flees from a lion And a bear confronts him, 5Or he goes home, leans with his hand against the wall, And a snake bites him.20Will the day of the Lord not be 6darkness instead of light, Even gloom with no brightness in it?
