Amos 5:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ How terrible it will be for you who long for the day of the Lord! What good will that day do you? For you it will be a day of darkness and not of light. ¹⁹ It will be like someone who runs from a lion and meets a bear! Or like someone who comes home and puts his hand on the wall—only to be bitten by a snake! ²⁰ The day of the Lord will bring darkness and not light; it will be a day of gloom, without any brightness.
