Amos 5 : 18 - 27
Chapter 5
| 18 | Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! For what good is the day of the LORD to you? It will be darkness, and not light.
|
| 19 | It will be as 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 | "I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.
|
| 22 | Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
|
| 23 | Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
|
| 24 | But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream.
|
| 25 | "Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
|
| 26 | You also carried Sikkuth your king And Chiun, your idols, The star of your gods, Which you made for yourselves.
|
| 27 | Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus," Says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
