Amos 5:18 - The Message

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.
