Amos 5:18-20

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁸ Woe to you who want the Day of Adonai!
Why do you want it, this Day of Adonai?
It is darkness, not light;
¹⁹ as if someone were to run from a lion,
just to be met by a bear;
as if he entered a house, put his hand on the wall,
just to be bitten by a snake.
²⁰ Won’t the Day of Adonai be darkness, not light,
completely dark, with no brightness at all?
