ylt - Amos:5:18-27

ylt@Amos:5:18 @Ho, ye who are desiring the day of Jehovah, Why [is] this to you -- the day of Jehovah? It is darkness, and not light,

ylt@Amos:5:19 @As [when] one fleeth from the face of the lion, And the bear hath met him, And he hath come in to the house, And hath leant his hand on the wall, And the serpent hath bitten him.

ylt@Amos:5:20 @Is not the day of Jehovah darkness and not light, Even thick darkness that hath no brightness?

ylt@Amos:5:21 @I have hated -- I have loathed your festivals, And I am not refreshed by your restraints.

ylt@Amos:5:22 @For though ye cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And the peace-offering of your fatlings I behold not.

ylt@Amos:5:23 @Turn aside from Me the noise of thy songs, Yea, the praise of thy psaltery I hear not.

ylt@Amos:5:24 @And roll on as waters doth judgment, And righteousness as a perennial stream.

ylt@Amos:5:25 @Sacrifices and offering did ye bring nigh to Me, In a wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

ylt@Amos:5:26 @And ye bare Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The star of your god, that ye made for yourselves.

ylt@Amos:5:27 @And I removed you beyond Damascus, Said Jehovah, God of Hosts [is] His name.
