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?
19 As if a man would flee from the face of a lion and a bear met him, or, as if one would leap into a house and leaning his hand on the wall a serpent bit him.
20 Is not this day of the Lord darkness and not light; even thick darkness, in which there is not a ray of light?
