“There is (A)wailing in all the plazas,
And in all the streets they say, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They also call the (B)farmer to mourning
And [a](C)professional weepers to wailing.

18 Woe, you who are longing for the (E)day of Yahweh,
For what purpose will the day of Yahweh be to you?
It will be (F)darkness and not light;
