Amos:5:18-27
noyes@Amos:5:18 @ Woe unto them that ask for the day of Jehovah! What is the day of Jehovah to you? It shall be darkness, and not light.
noyes@Amos:5:19 @ As if a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him; Or went into a house and leaned his hand on a wall, And a serpent bit him;
noyes@Amos:5:20 @ So shall the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light, Even thick darkness, and no brightness in it.
noyes@Amos:5:21 @ I hate, I despise your feasts; I have no delight in your solemn assemblies.
noyes@Amos:5:22 @ When ye offer me burntofferings and flourofferings, I will not accept them; And upon the thankofferings of your fatlings I will not look.
noyes@Amos:5:23 @ Take ye away from me the noise of your songs, And the music of your harps let me not hear!
noyes@Amos:5:24 @ Let justice flow forth as waters, And righteousness as a mighty stream!
noyes@Amos:5:25 @ Did ye offer me sacrifices and offerings In the wilderness, for forty years, O house of Israel?
noyes@Amos:5:26 @ But ye bore the tabernacle of your king, And the shrine of your images, The star of your god, which ye made for yourselves.
noyes@Amos:5:27 @ Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, Saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts!
