lesserot - Amos:5:18-27

lesserot@Amos:5:18 @ Woe unto you that long for the day of the Lord! for what do you wish the day of the Lord? it is darkness, and not of light.

lesserot@Amos:5:19 @ As if a man were to flee from a lion, and a bear should meet him; and he enter into the house, and lean his hand against the wall, and a serpent should bite him.

lesserot@Amos:5:20 @ Behold the day of the Lord is darkness, and not of light; yea, it is obscure, and hath no brightness.

lesserot@Amos:5:21 @ I hate, I despise your feastdays, and I will not smell on your festive assemblies.

lesserot@Amos:5:22 @ For though ye should offer me burntofferings and your meatofferings, I will not accept them in favor: and the peaceofferings of your fatted cattle will I not look at.

lesserot@Amos:5:23 @ Remove thou from around me the noise of thy songs: and the playing of thy psalteries I will not hear.

lesserot@Amos:5:24 @ But let justice roll along like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

lesserot@Amos:5:25 @ Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and meatofferings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

lesserot@Amos:5:26 @ Bear then the canopy of your chief idol, and the figure of your images, the star of your god, which ye have made for yourselves.

lesserot@Amos:5:27 @ And I will cause you to go into exile far beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, The God of hosts is his name.
