The Day of the Lord a Dark Day 18Alas for you who desire the day of the Lord! Why do you want the day of the Lord? It is darkness, not light;19as if someone fled from a lion, and was met by a bear; or went into the house and rested a hand against the wall, and was bitten by a snake.20Is not the day of the Lord darkness, not light, and gloom with no brightness in it?
