Amos
Amos warns that those who desire the Day of the LORD will find it to be darkness and not light. He pictures it as inescapable danger, like fleeing a lion and meeting a bear, and says it will have no brightness. See Amos 5:18–20.
18Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why would you have the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, and not light.
19As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
20Shall the day of Yahweh not be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
