Amos 5:20 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Amos 5:20 [Shall] not the day of the LORD [be] darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

Ver. 20. Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, &c.] q.d. How say ye now; when thus beset with mischief on all hands, such as ye can neither avoid nor abide, must ye not needs subscribe to the truth of what I said, Amos 5:18, and do here again repeat (that you may the better observe it) with greater emphasis and earnestness? you shall not have the least glimmering of comfort, ease, direction, or good counsel. To what end, then, should you desire this dreadful day of the Lord? Are you in haste to be undone?

Amos 5:20

20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
