Amos 5:17-19
Names of God Bible
17 There will be loud crying in every vineyard,
because I will pass through your land with death.
Yahweh has said this.
The Terrifying Day of the Lord
18 How horrible it will be for those who long for the day of Yahweh!
Why do you long for that day?
The day of Yahweh is one of darkness and not light.
19 It is like a person who flees from a lion
only to be attacked by a bear.
It is like a person who goes home and puts his hand on the wall
only to be bitten by a snake.
