(Some words not found in UHB: alas [those,who]_desire DOM day YHWH to/for=what this to/for=you(pl) day YHWH he/it darkness and=not light )
Here “darkness” represents a time when disasters happen, and “light” represents a time when good things happen. Alternate translation: [It will be a time of darkness and disaster, not of light and blessing]
