16 Therefore thus says Yahweh God of hosts, the Lord,

“There is (A)wailing in all the plazas,
And in all the streets they say, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They also call the (B)farmer to mourning
And [a](C)professional weepers to wailing.
17 And in all the (D)vineyards there is wailing
Because I will pass through the midst of you,” says Yahweh.

18 Woe, you who are longing for the (E)day of Yahweh,
For what purpose will the day of Yahweh be to you?
It will be (F)darkness and not light;
19 As when a man (G)flees from a lion
And a bear meets him;
[b]Or he goes home, leans his hand against the wall,
And a snake bites him.
20 Will not the day of Yahweh be (H)darkness instead of light,
Even thick darkness with no brightness in it?

The Day of the Lord

18 Woe to you who long
    for the day of the Lord!(G)
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?(H)
    That day will be darkness,(I) not light.(J)
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion
    only to meet a bear,(K)
as though he entered his house
    and rested his hand on the wall
    only to have a snake bite him.(L)
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness,(M) not light—
    pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?(N)
