Amos 5:18 in Context — Amos 5
16 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel, le Dieu des armées, le Seigneur; Dans toutes les places on se lamentera, Dans toutes les rues on dira: Hélas! Hélas! On appellera le laboureur au deuil, Et aux lamentations ceux qui disent des complaintes.
17 Dans toutes les vignes on se lamentera, Lorsque je passerai au milieu de toi, dit l’Éternel.
18 Malheur à ceux qui désirent le jour de l’Éternel! Qu’attendez-vous du jour de l’Éternel? Il sera ténèbres et non lumière.
19 Vous serez comme un homme qui fuit devant un lion Et que rencontre un ours, Qui gagne sa demeure, appuie sa main sur la muraille, Et que mord un serpent.
20 Le jour de l’Éternel n’est-il pas ténèbres et non lumière? N’est-il pas obscur et sans éclat?
