Amos 5:18-27
18WoeH1945 to you who are longingH183 for the 1dayH3117 of the LordH3068, For whatH4100 2purposeH2088 will the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 be to you? It will be 3darknessH2822 and not lightH216;19As whenH3512 a manH376 4fleesH5127 from a lionH738 And a bearH1677 confrontsH6293 him, 5Or he goesH935 homeH1004, leansH5564 with his handH3027 againstH5921 the wallH7023, And a snakeH5175 bitesH5391 him.20Will the dayH3117 of the LordH3068 not be 6darknessH2822 insteadH3808 of lightH216, Even gloomH651 with noH3808 brightnessH5051 in it?
21“I hateH8130, I 7rejectH3988 your festivalsH2282, NorH3808 do I 89delightH7381 in your festiveH6116 assembliesH6116.22EvenH3588 thoughH518 you 10offerH5927 upH5927 to Me burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and your grain offeringsH4503, I will not acceptH7521 them; And I will not even lookH5027 at the 11peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 of your fattenedH4806 oxenH4806.23TakeH5493 awayH5493 from Me the noiseH1995 of your songsH7892; I will not even listenH8085 to the soundH2172 of your harpsH5035.24But let 12justiceH4941 rollH1556 outH1556 like watersH4325, And righteousnessH6666 like an ever-flowingH386 streamH5158.
25“1314Did you presentH5066 Me with sacrificesH2077 and grain offeringsH4503 in the wildernessH4057 for fortyH705 yearsH8141, houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? 2615You also carriedH5375 along 16SikkuthH5522 your kingH4428 and 17KiyyunH3594, your imagesH6754, 18the starH3556 of your godsH430 whichH834 you madeH6213 for yourselves. 27Therefore I will make you goH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540 beyondH4480H1973 DamascusH1834,” saysH559 the LordH3068, whose nameH8034 is the GodH430 of armiesH6635.
