Amos 5:19

19 Disaster will be inescapable,[a]
as if a man ran from a lion only to meet a bear,
then escaped into[b] a house,
leaned his hand against the wall,
and was bitten by a poisonous snake.

19 As when a man (A)flees from a lion
And a bear confronts him,
[a]Or he goes home, leans with his hand against the wall,
And a snake bites him.
