Amos:5:18-27
rotherham@Amos:5:18 @ Alas for them who are longing for the day of Yahweh, What good to you, is the day of Yahweh? it, being darkness and not light:
rotherham@Amos:5:19 @ As if a man should flee from the face of a lion, and there should meet hima bear! or he should have entered the house, and leaned his hand upon the wall, and there should bite hima serpent!
rotherham@Amos:5:20 @ Shall not the day of Yahweh be, darkness, and not light? yea, thick darkness and no brightness in it?
rotherham@Amos:5:21 @ I hate, I despise your festivals, and can scent no fragrance in your solemn feasts.
rotherham@Amos:5:22 @ Nay, though ye cause to ascend unto me ascending-sacrifices, and your meal-offerings, I will not accept, nor, the peace-offering of your fat heifers, will I regard.
rotherham@Amos:5:23 @ Take thou away from me, the noise of thy songs, Even the melody of thy harps, will I not hear.
rotherham@Amos:5:24 @ But let, justice, roll along like water, and, righteousness, as a torrent over flowing.
rotherham@Amos:5:25 @ The sacrifices and meal-offering, ye brought near unto me, in the desert, for forty years O house of Israel;
rotherham@Amos:5:26 @ But ye carried the tent of your king-idol, and your Saturn-images, the star of your gods, which ye made for yourselves:
rotherham@Amos:5:27 @ Therefore will I carry you into exile beyond Damascus, saith Yahweh, God of hosts, is his name.
