As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 19 is found in chapter 5 of Amos. The images of a man fleeing from a lion only to encounter a bear show that escaping one threat leads only to another. The day of the Lord will not automatically be favorable to a society that has not corrected its injustice.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
