Amos 5:18-27
18Woe to you who long for the Day of the LORD! What will the Day of the LORD be for you? It will be darkness and not light.19It will be like a man who flees from a lion, only to encounter a bear, or who enters his house and rests his hand against the wall, only to be bitten by a snake.20Will not the Day of the LORD be darkness and not light, even gloom with no brightness in it?
21“I hate, I despise your feasts!I cannot stand the stench of your solemn assemblies.22Even though you offer Me burnt offerings and grain offerings,I will not accept them;for your peace offerings of fattened cattleI will have no regard.23Take away from Me the noise of your songs!I will not listen to the music of your harps.24But let justice roll on like a river,and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
