Amos 5:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

There will be loud crying in every city square,
and people will say in every street, “Oh, no!”
They will call on farmers to mourn
and on professional mourners to cry loudly.
¹⁷ There will be loud crying in every vineyard,
because I will pass through your land ⌞with death⌟.

¹⁸ How horrible it will be for those who long for the day of the Lord!
Why do you long for that day?
The day of the Lord is one of darkness and not light.
