“In all the squares ^(B)there shall be wailing,
    and in all the streets they shall say, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They shall call the farmers to mourning
    and ^(C)to wailing those who are skilled in lamentation,
¹⁷ and in all vineyards there shall be wailing,
    for ^(D)I will pass through your midst,”
says the Lord.

¹⁸ Woe to you who desire ^(E)the day of the Lord!
    Why would you have the day of the Lord?
^(F)It is darkness, and not light,
