Amos 5:18-20

18WoeH1945 to you who are longingH183 for the 1dayH3117 of the LordH3068, For whatH4100 2purposeH2088 will the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 be to you? It will be 3darknessH2822 and not lightH216;19As whenH3512 a manH376 4fleesH5127 from a lionH738 And a bearH1677 confrontsH6293 him, 5Or he goesH935 homeH1004, leansH5564 with his handH3027 againstH5921 the wallH7023, And a snakeH5175 bitesH5391 him.20Will the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 not be 6darknessH2822 insteadH3808 of lightH216, Even gloomH651 with noH3808 brightnessH5051 in it?
