Isaiah 5:30
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
30 They will roar over it on that day,
like the roaring of the sea.
And if one look to the land—
only darkness and distress;
and the light grows dark with its clouds.(A)
Amos 5:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord:
In all the squares there shall be wailing,
and in all the streets they shall say, “Alas! Alas!”
They shall call the farmers to mourning
and those skilled in lamentation to wailing;(A)
17 in all the vineyards there shall be wailing,
for I will pass through the midst of you,
says the Lord.(B)
The Day of the Lord a Dark Day
18 Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
Why do you want the day of the Lord?
It is darkness, not light,(C)
