Amos 5:19
Compare all
17 In all vineyards there shall be wailing,
For aI will pass through you,”
Says the Lord. 
18 aWoe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
For what good is bthe day of the Lord to you?
It will be darkness, and not light. 
19 It will be aas though a man fled from a lion,
And a bear met him!
Or as though he went into the house,
Leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him! 
20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light?
Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?
21 “Ia hate, I despise your feast days,
And bI do not savor your sacred assemblies.

And a bear - You may escape one, but shall fall in another calamity. Into the house - At home you may hope for safety, but there other kind of mischief shall meet you.
