Amos 5:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ People will be crying in all the vineyards.
    This is because I will pass among you to punish you,” says the Lord.

¹⁸ How terrible it will be for you who want
    the Lord’s day of judging to come.
Why do you want that day to come?
    It will bring darkness for you, not light.
¹⁹ It will be like a man who runs from a lion
    and meets a bear.
It will be like him going into his house
    and putting his hand on the wall.
    And then a snake bites him.
