Amos 5:16-18 For this purpose, saith the Lord, the God Almighty, in all the streets let there be wailing, and in all the highways let them say, Alas! Alas! Let the husbandman be called to lamentation and mourning, and to them who are skilled in the song of Woe.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ For this purpose, saith the Lord, the God Almighty, in all the streets let there be wailing, and in all the highways let them say, Alas! Alas! Let the husbandman be called to lamentation and mourning, and to them who are skilled in the song of Woe. ¹⁷ And in all the ways let there be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of thee, said the Lord. ¹⁸ Alas for them who desire the day of the Lord! Why should you desire the day of the Lord, when it is darkness and not light?
