The Day of the Lord

16 Therefore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord, says this:

There shall be wailing in all streets,
And they shall say in all the highways,
‘Alas! Alas!’
They shall call the farmer to mourning,
(A)And skillful lamenters to wailing.
17 In all vineyards there shall be wailing,
For (B)I will pass through you,”
Says the Lord.

18 (C)Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
For what good is (D)the day of the Lord to you?
It will be darkness, and not light.

“There will be wailing(A) in all the streets(B)
    and cries of anguish in every public square.
The farmers(C) will be summoned to weep
    and the mourners to wail.
17 There will be wailing(D) in all the vineyards,
    for I will pass through(E) your midst,”
says the Lord.(F)

The Day of the Lord

    for the day of the Lord!(G)
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?(H)
    That day will be darkness,(I) not light.(J)
