Amos:5:16-20

*
Therefore the LORD ,
the God of hosts ,
the Lord ,
saith thus ;
Wailing shall be in all streets ;
and they shall say in all the highways ,
Alas !
alas !
and they shall call the husbandman to mourning ,
and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing .
*
And in all vineyards shall be wailing :
for I will pass through thee ,
saith the LORD .
*
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD !
to what end is it for you ?
the day of the LORD is darkness ,
and not light .
*
As if a man did flee from a lion ,
and a bear met him ;
or went into the house ,
and leaned his hand on the wall ,
and a serpent bit him .
*
Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness ,
and not light ?
even very dark ,
and no brightness in it ?
