16. Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of hosts the sovereign Lord: In every street there shall be wailing: and in all places that are without, they shall say: Alas, alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to lament.
17. And in all vineyards there shall be wailing: because I will pass through in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
18. Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord: to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
19. As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and a bear should meet him: or enter into the house, and lean with his hand upon the wall, and a serpent should bite him.
