Amos 5:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁷ In every field and garden, people will be weeping, because I will come to punish them all.’ That is what the Lord says.

The special day of the Lord

¹⁸ You want the special day of the Lord to come. But it will be very bad for you! You think that God will punish your enemies on that day. But that day will not bring light to you, it will bring darkness. ¹⁹ Nobody will escape! It will be like a man who runs away from a lion, but then he meets a bear! When he goes into his house to be safe, he puts his hand on a wall and a snake bites him!
