Amos 5:18-19
New American Standard Bible
18 Woe to you who are longing for the (A)day of the Lord,
For what [a]purpose will the day of the Lord be to you?
It will be (B)darkness and not light;
19 As when a man (C)flees from a lion
And a bear confronts him,
[b]Or he goes home, leans with his hand against the wall,
And a snake bites him.

The Day of the Lord
18 Woe to you who long
for the day of the Lord!(A)
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?(B)
That day will be darkness,(C) not light.(D)
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion
only to meet a bear,(E)
as though he entered his house
and rested his hand on the wall
only to have a snake bite him.(F)
