Amos 5:16-20
16Therefore YhwhH3068, the GodH430 of ArmiesH6635, the LordH136, saithH559 thus; WailingH4553 shall be in all streetsH7339; and they shall sayH559 in all the highwaysH2351, AlasH1930! alasH1930! and they shall callH7121 the husbandmanH406 to mourningH60, and such as are skilfulH3045 of lamentationH5092 to wailingH4553.
17And in all vineyardsH3754 shall be wailingH4553: for I will passH5674 throughH7130 thee, saithH559 YhwhH3068.
18WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183 the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068! to what endH4100 is it for you? the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 is darknessH2822, and not lightH216.
19As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 him.
20Shall not the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very darkH651, and no brightnessH5051 in it?
