Amos 5:19-21

New Revised Standard Version 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.
²⁰Is not the day of the Lord darkness, not light,
    and gloom with no brightness in it?

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