Amos 5:17-19
New American Standard Bible 1995
17 “And in all the (A)vineyards there is wailing,
Because I will pass through the midst of you,” says the Lord.
18 Alas, you who are longing for the (B)day of the Lord,
For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you?
It will be (C)darkness and not light;
19 As when a man (D)flees from a lion
And a bear meets him,
[a]Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall
And a snake bites him.
