Amos 5:18-27

18WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183 the dayH3117 of Jehovah! To what end is the dayH3117 of Jehovah for you? It shall be darknessH2822 and not lightH216: 19as if a manH376 fledH5127 from a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004 and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpent bit him. 20Shall not the dayH3117 of Jehovah be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very dark, and no brightnessH5051 in it? 21I hateH8130, I despise your feastsH2282, and I will not smellH7306 [a sweet odour] in your solemnH6116 assembliesH6116. 22For if ye offerH5927 up unto me burnt-offerings and your oblations, I will not acceptH7521 [them]; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fatted beasts. 23Take awayH5493 from me the noiseH1995 of thy songsH7892, and I will not hearH8085 the melody of thy lutes; 24but let judgmentH4941 rollH1556 down as watersH4325, and righteousnessH6666 as an ever-flowing stream. 25Did ye bringH5066 unto me sacrificesH2077 and oblations in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? 26Yea, ye tookH5375 up the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun your imagesH6754, the starH3556 of your 1godH430, which ye had madeH6213 to yourselves; 27and I will cause you to goH1540 into captivity beyond DamascusH1834, saith Jehovah, whose nameH8034 is the 2GodH430 of hostsH6635.
