ગુજરાતીઆમોસ ૫:૧૮
તમે જેઓ યહોવાહનો દિવસ ઇચ્છો છો તેઓને અફસોસ! શા માટે તમે યહોવાહનો દિવસ ઇચ્છો છો? તે દિવસ અંધકારરૂપ છે પ્રકાશરૂપ નહિ.
हिन्दीआमोस ५:१८
हाय तुम पर, जो यहोवा के दिन की अभिलाषा करते हो! यहोवा के दिन से तुम्हारा क्या लाभ होगा? वह तो उजियाले का नहीं, अंधियारे का दिन होगा।

In context

16Therefore the LORD, the God of Armies, the Lord, says: “Wailing will be in all the wide ways. They will say in all the streets, ‘Alas! Alas!’ They will call the farmer to mourning, and those who are skillful in lamentation to wailing.

17In all vineyards there will be wailing, for I will pass through the middle of you,” says the LORD.

18“Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light.

19As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.

20Won’t the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
