Amos 5:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ You will run from a lion,
    only to meet a bear.
You will escape to your house,
rest your hand on the wall,
    and be bitten by a snake.
²⁰ The day when the Lord judges
will be dark, very dark,
    without a ray of light.

^21 (A) I, the Lord, hate and despise
your religious celebrations
    and your times of worship.
