Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Wo unto you that desire the day of the Lord - The prophet had often denounced the coming of God' s day, that is, of a time of judgment; and the unbelievers had said, "Let his day come, that we may see it." Now the prophet tells them that that day would be to them darkness - calamity, and not light - not prosperity.
