The Lord’s Day of Judging

18 ·How terrible it will be for [L Woe to] you who want
    the ·Lord’s day of judging [L day of the Lord] to come.
Why do you want that day to come?
    It will bring darkness for you, not light.
19 It will be like someone who runs from a lion
    and meets a bear,
or like someone who goes into his house
    and ·puts [leans] his hand on the wall,
    and then is bitten by a snake.
20 So the ·Lord’s day of judging [L day of the Lord] will bring darkness, not light;
    it will be ·very dark [deep gloom], not ·light at all [brightness].

    only to meet a bear,(E)

20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness,(G) not light—
    pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?(H)
