Journey Through the Bible

Amos 5:19-20

19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion
only to meet a bear,
as though he entered his house
and rested his hand on the wall
only to have a snake bite him.

20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness, not light—
pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?
