Amos 5:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 in all the vineyards there shall be wailing,
for I will pass through the midst of you,
says the Lord.
The Day of the Lord a Dark Day
18 Alas for you who desire the day of the Lord!
Why do you want the day of the Lord?
It is darkness, not light;
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.
