Amos 5:16-20

16ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 GodH430 of armiesH6635, the LordH136 saysH559: “There is 1mourningH4553 in allH3605 the publicH7339 squaresH7339, And in allH3605 the streetsH2351 they sayH559, ‘OhH1930 noH1930! OhH1930 noH1930!’ They also callH7121 the 2farmerH406 to mourningH60 And 34professionalH3045 mournersH5092 to mourningH4553 ritesH4553.17And in allH3605 the 5vineyardsH3754 there is mourningH4553, BecauseH3588 I will passH5674 through the midstH7130 of you,” saysH559 the LordH3068.

18WoeH1945 to you who are longingH183 for the 6dayH3117 of the LordH3068, For whatH4100 7purposeH2088 will the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 be to you? It will be 8darknessH2822 and not lightH216;19As whenH3512 a manH376 9fleesH5127 from a lionH738 And a bearH1677 confrontsH6293 him, 10Or he goesH935 homeH1004, leansH5564 with his handH3027 againstH5921 the wallH7023, And a snakeH5175 bitesH5391 him.20Will the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 not be 11darknessH2822 insteadH3808 of lightH216, Even gloomH651 with noH3808 brightnessH5051 in it?
