Amos 5:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ You will be like someone who escapes from a lion
    only to be attacked by a bear,
or like someone who goes into the safety of his house,
    leans against the wall,
    and is bitten by a snake.
²⁰ The Lord’s special day will be
    a day of darkness, not light—a day of gloom, without a ray of light.

²¹ “I hate your festivals;
    I will not accept them.
    I don’t enjoy your religious meetings.
