18 "Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? 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 fled from a lion, And a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, And a snake 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 Will the day of the LORD not 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?
