gloomy, dark; describing the Day of the LORD (Amos 5:20)
This adjective intensifies the description of divine judgment day, standing parallel to 'darkness' and opposite to 'brightness.' Amos employs it to shatter popular expectations: Israel anticipated the Day of the LORD as victory, but the prophet announces gloom and terror. The word evokes the oppressive darkness of coming judgment, where light has been extinguished.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — In Amos 5:20's rhetorical question, 'Is not the Day of the LORD darkness and not light, gloom with no brightness in it?', the term reinforces total absence of hope. The cross-lingual glosses ('gloom' in English, 'tinieblas' in Spanish, 'sombre' in French, 'Dunkel' in German) consistently convey darkness, supporting the prophet's stark reversal of Israel's eschatological optimism into a vision of inescapable judgment. 1×
