Amos 5:18-20

LXX

NIV

18 Woe to you that desire the day of the Lord! what is this day of the Lord to you? whereas 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 should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him; and he should spring into his house, and lean his hands upon the wall, and a serpent should bite 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 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? and is not this gloom without brightness?
20 Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?
