Amos 5:18-27

18WoeH1945 to you who long forH183 the DayH3117 of the LORDH3068! WhatH4100 H2088 will the DayH3117 of the LORDH3068 be for you? ItH1931 will be darknessH2822 and notH3808 lightH216.19It will be likeH834 a manH376 who fleesH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, only to encounterH6293 a bearH1677, or who entersH935 his houseH1004 and restsH5564 his handH3027 againstH5921 the wallH7023, only to be bittenH5391 by a snakeH5175.20Will notH3808 the DayH3117 of the LORDH3068 be darknessH2822 and notH3808 lightH216, even gloomH651 with noH3808 brightnessH5051 in it?

21“I hateH8130, I despiseH3988 your feastsH2282!I cannotH3808 stand the stenchH7306 of your solemn assembliesH6116.22EvenH3588 thoughH518 you offerH5927 Me burnt offeringsH5930 and grain offeringsH4503,I will notH3808 accept themH7521;for your peace offeringsH8002 of fattened cattleH4806I will have noH3808 regardH5027.23Take awayH5493 from MeH5921 the noiseH1995 of your songsH7892!I will notH3808 listenH8085 to the musicH2172 of your harpsH5035.24But let justiceH4941 roll onH1556 like a riverH4325,and righteousnessH6666 like an ever-flowingH386 streamH5158.

25Did you bringH5066 Me sacrificesH2077 and offeringsH4503fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478?26You have taken alongH5375 SakkuthH5522 your kingH4428 and KaiwanH3594 your starH3556 godH430,1the idolsH6754 you madeH6213 for yourselves.27Therefore I will send you into exileH1540 beyondH1973 DamascusH1834,”2saysH559 the LORDH3068, whose nameH8034 is the GodH430 of HostsH6635.
