Amos 5:18

The Day Of Yahweh

¹⁷
“And in all vineyards there is wailing,
For I will pass through your midst [in judgment],” says the Lord. ¹⁸ 
Woe (judgment is coming) to you who desire the day of the Lord [expecting rescue from the Gentiles]!
Why would you want the day of the Lord?
It is darkness (judgment) and not light [and rescue and prosperity];
¹⁹
It is as if a man runs from a lion [escaping one danger]
And a bear meets him [so he dies anyway],
Or goes home, and leans with his hand against the wall
And a snake bites him.

Day of Darkness

Day of Judgment

Day of the Lord

Lord Shall

Woe to Those

Woe to You
