Amos 5:18-19

Revised Standard Version

The Day of the Lord a Dark Day

¹⁸Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
    Why would you have the day of the Lord?
It is darkness, and not light;
¹⁹    as if a man fled from a lion,
    and a bear met him;
or went into the house and leaned with his hand against the wall,
    and a serpent bit him.
