Amos 5:17-19

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁷“And in all the ^(A)vineyards there is wailing,
Because I will pass through the midst of you,” says the Lord.

¹⁸Alas, you who are longing for the ^(B)day of the Lord,
For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you?
It will be ^(C)darkness and not light;
¹⁹As when a man ^(D)flees from a lion
And a bear meets him,
^[a]Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall
And a snake bites him.
