Amos:5:18-27
web@Amos:5:18 @ "Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh! Why do you long for the day of Yahweh? It is darkness, and not light.
web@Amos:5:19 @ As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.
web@Amos:5:20 @ Won't the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
web@Amos:5:21 @ I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can't stand your solemn assemblies.
web@Amos:5:22 @ Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
web@Amos:5:23 @ Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
web@Amos:5:24 @ But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
web@Amos:5:25 @ "Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?
web@Amos:5:26 @ You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
web@Amos:5:27 @ Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus," says Yahweh, whose name is the God of Armies.
