Amos 5:18-20
Orthodox Jewish Bible
18 Hoy unto you that desire the Yom Hashem! Why do ye seek it? The Yom Hashem is choshech, and not ohr.
19 As if a man did flee from an ari, and a dov met him; or went into the bais, and leaned his hand on the kir (wall), and a nachash bit him.
20 Shall not the Yom Hashem be choshech, and not ohr? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?

New International Version
The Day of the Lord
18 Woe to you who long
for the day of the Lord!(A)
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?(B)
That day will be darkness,(C) not light.(D)
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion
only to meet a bear,(E)
as though he entered his house
and rested his hand on the wall
only to have a snake bite him.(F)
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness,(G) not light—
pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?(H)
