Amos 5:18

‘They will be wasted by famine, and consumed by plague And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts I will send upon them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.

Then they will look to the earth, and behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish; and they will be banished into thick darkness.

Wail, for the day of Yahweh is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Give glory to Yahweh your God, Before He brings darkness And before your feet stumble On the dusky mountains; And while you are hoping for light, He makes it into the shadow of death And turns it into dense gloom.

“For thus says Yahweh, ‘We have heard a sound of trembling, Of dread, and there is no peace.

‘Alas! For that day is great, There is none like it; And it is the time of Jacob’s distress, But he will be saved from it.

A day of darkness and thick darkness, A day of clouds and dense gloom. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, So there is a numerous and mighty people; There has never been anything like it, Nor will there be again after it For the years from generation to generation.

“For the day of Yahweh draws near on all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your dealings will return on your own head.

A day of fury is that day, A day of trouble and distress, A day of destruction and desolation, A day of darkness and thick darkness, A day of clouds and dense gloom,
