nkjv - Amos:5:18-27

nkjv@Amos: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.

nkjv@Amos:5:19 @ 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!

nkjv@Amos:5:20 @ Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

nkjv@Amos:5:21 @ "I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.

nkjv@Amos:5:22 @ Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.

nkjv@Amos:5:23 @ Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

nkjv@Amos:5:24 @ But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream.

nkjv@Amos:5:25 @ "Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

nkjv@Amos:5:26 @ You also carried Sikkuth your king And Chiun, your idols, The star of your gods, Which you made for yourselves.

nkjv@Amos:5:27 @ Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus," Says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
