- Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
- And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.
- Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
- As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
- Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

- Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, the Lord, "There is wailing in all the plazas, And in all the streets they say, 'Alas! Alas!' They also call the farmer to mourning And professional mourners to lamentation.
- "And in all the vineyards there is wailing, Because I will pass through the midst of you," says the LORD.
- Alas, you who are longing for the day of the LORD, For what purpose will the day of the LORD be to you? It will be darkness and not light;
- As when a man flees from a lion And a bear meets him, Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall And a snake bites him.
- Will not the day of the LORD be darkness instead of light, Even gloom with no brightness in it?
