The Day of the Lord

16 Therefore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord, says this:
“There shall be wailing in all streets,
And they shall say in all the highways,
‘Alas! Alas!’
They shall call the farmer to mourning,
aAnd skillful lamenters to wailing. 
17 In all vineyards there shall be wailing,
For aI will pass through you,”
Says the Lord. 
18 aWoe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
For what good is bthe day of the Lord to you?
It will be darkness, and not light. 
19 It will be aas though a man fled from a lion,
And a bear met him!
Or as though he went into the house,
Leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him! 
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light?
Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?
21 “Ia hate, I despise your feast days,
And bI do not savor your sacred assemblies.
