Warning of Coming Judgment
18 What sorrow awaits you who say,
“If only the day of the Lord were here!”
You have no idea what you are wishing for.
That day will bring darkness, not light.
19 In that day you will be like a man who runs from a lion—
only to meet a bear.
Escaping from the bear, he leans his hand against a wall in his house—
and he’s bitten by a snake.
20 Yes, the day of the Lord will be dark and hopeless,
without a ray of joy or hope.

for the day of the Lord!(A)
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?(B)
That day will be darkness,(C) not light.(D)
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion
only to meet a bear,(E)
as though he entered his house
and rested his hand on the wall
only to have a snake bite him.(F)
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness,(G) not light—
pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?(H)

4 Let that day be turned to darkness.
Let it be lost even to God on high,
and let no light shine on it.
5 Let the darkness and utter gloom claim that day for its own.
Let a black cloud overshadow it,
and let the darkness terrify it.
6 Let that night be blotted off the calendar,
never again to be counted among the days of the year,
never again to appear among the months.
7 Let that night be childless.
Let it have no joy.
8 Let those who are experts at cursing—
whose cursing could rouse Leviathan[a]—
curse that day.

may blackness overwhelm it.
6 That night—may thick darkness(B) seize it;
may it not be included among the days of the year
nor be entered in any of the months.

may no shout of joy(C) be heard in it.
8 May those who curse days[a] curse that day,(D)
those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.(E)
