Amos 5:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 in all the vineyards there shall be wailing,
for I will pass through the midst of you,
says the Lord.(A)
The Day of the Lord a Dark Day
18 Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
Why do you want the day of the Lord?
It is darkness, not light,(B)
19 as if someone fled from a lion
and was met by a bear
or went into the house and rested a hand against the wall
and was bitten by a snake.(C)
