Amos 5:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ Therefore Hashem Adonoi Elohei Tzva’os saith thus: Wailing shall be in all rechovot; and they shall cry in all the public squares, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the ikkar (farmer) to mourning, and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing.

¹⁷ And in all kramim (vineyards) shall be wailing; for I will pass through thee, saith Hashem.

¹⁸ Hoy unto you that desire the Yom Hashem! Why do ye seek it? The Yom Hashem is choshech, and not ohr.
