Amos 5:18-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁸ Alas, you who are longing for the ^(A)day of the Lord,
For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you?
It will be ^(B)darkness and not light;
¹⁹ As when a man ^(C)flees from a lion
And a bear meets him,
^[a]Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall
And a snake bites him.
²⁰ Will not the day of the Lord be ^(D)darkness instead of light,
Even gloom with no brightness in it?
