Amos 5:18-20

ASV

NIV

18 Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! Wherefore would ye have the day of Jehovah? It is darkness, and not light.
18 Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? That day will be darkness, not light.
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him.
20 Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
20 Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?
