Amos 5:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ The Lord, the Lord God Almighty says, ‘All the people will be sad. They will weep and cry loudly in all the streets. They will tell the farmers to weep with them. They will tell the singers to sing sad songs for them. ¹⁷ In every field and garden, people will be weeping, because I will come to punish them all.’ That is what the Lord says.

The special day of the Lord

¹⁸ You want the special day of the Lord to come. But it will be very bad for you! You think that God will punish your enemies on that day. But that day will not bring light to you, it will bring darkness.
