Amos 5:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord: In every street there shall be wailing: and in all places that are without, they shall say: Alas, alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful in lamentation to lament.

¹⁷ And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.

¹⁸ Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord: to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
