Isaiah 22:5

5 For the Lord God of hosts has a day
of tumult and trampling and confusion
in the valley of vision,
a battering down of walls
and a cry for help to the mountains.(A)

Amos 5:18-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Day of the Lord a Dark Day
18 Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
Why do you want the day of the Lord?
It is darkness, not light,(A)
19 as if someone fled from a lion
and was met by a bear
or went into the house and rested a hand against the wall
and was bitten by a snake.(B)
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, not light,
and gloom with no brightness in it?(C)
