Amos 5:20
Amos 5:18-20 The Message (MSG)
Woe to all of you who want GOD’s Judgment Day! Why would you want to see GOD, want him to come? When GOD comes, it will be bad news before it’s good news, the worst of times, not the best of times. Here’s what it’s like: A man runs from a lion right into the jaws of a bear. A woman goes home after a hard day’s work and is raped by a neighbor. At GOD’s coming we face hard reality, not fantasy— a black cloud with no silver lining.
Amos 5:20 King James Version (KJV)
Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Amos 5:20 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Will not the day of the LORD be darkness instead of light, Even gloom with no brightness in it?
Amos 5:20 New Century Version (NCV)
So the LORD’s day of judging will bring darkness, not light; it will be very dark, not light at all.
Amos 5:20 American Standard Version (ASV)
Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Amos 5:20 New International Version (NIV)
Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?
Amos 5:20 New King James Version (NKJV)
Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?
Amos 5:20 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, instead of light, Even very dark with no brightness in it?
