Amos 5:19-21
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

19     as if someone fled from a lion,
    and was met by a bear;
or went into the house and rested a hand against the wall,
    and was bitten by a snake.
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, not light,
    and gloom with no brightness in it?

21 I hate, I despise your festivals,
    and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.

    only to meet a bear,(A)
as though he entered his house

    only to have a snake bite him.(B)
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness,(C) not light—
    pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?(D)

21 “I hate,(E) I despise your religious festivals;(F)
    your assemblies(G) are a stench to me.
