Amos 5:17-19

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁷ and in all vineyards there shall be wailing,
    for I will pass through the midst of you,”
                says the Lord.

¹⁸ Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
    Why would you have the day of the Lord?
It is darkness, and not light;
¹⁹     as if a man fled from a lion,
    and a bear met him;
or went into the house and leaned with his hand against the wall,
    and a serpent bit him.
