18 Woe, you who are longing for the aday of Yahweh,
For what purpose will the day of Yahweh be to you?
It will be bdarkness and not light;
19 As when a man aflees from a lion
And a bear meets him;
Or he goes home, leans his hand against the wall,
And a snake bites him.
20 Will not the day of Yahweh be adarkness instead of light,
Even thick darkness with no brightness in it?
