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?

24 ^aBut let justice run down like water,
And righteousness like a mighty stream. ‡

25 “Did^a you offer Me sacrifices and offerings
In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? ‡
