Amos 5:18-27

18WoeH1945 unto you that desireH183 the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068! to what endH4100 is it for you? the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 is darknessH2822, and not lightH216. 19As if a manH376 did fleeH5127 fromH6440 a lionH738, and a bearH1677 metH6293 him; or wentH935 into the houseH1004, and leanedH5564 his handH3027 on the wallH7023, and a serpentH5175 bitH5391 him. 20Shall not the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very darkH651, and no brightnessH5051 in it?

21I hateH8130, I despiseH3988 your feast daysH2282, and I will not smellH7306 in your solemn assembliesH6116.1 22Though ye offerH5927 me burnt offeringsH5930 and your grain offeringsH4503, I will not acceptH7521 them: neither will I regardH5027 the peace offeringsH8002 of your fat beastsH4806.2 23Take thou awayH5493 from me the noiseH1995 of thy songsH7892; for I will not hearH8085 the melodyH2172 of thy violsH5035. 24But let judgmentH4941 run downH1556 as watersH4325, and righteousnessH6666 as a mightyH386 streamH5158.3 25Have ye offeredH5066 unto me sacrificesH2077 and offeringsH4503 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478? 26But ye have borneH5375 the tabernacleH5522 of your MolochH4428 and ChiunH3594 your imagesH6754, the starH3556 of your godH430, which ye madeH6213 to yourselves.4 27Therefore will I cause you to go into captivityH1540 beyondH1973 DamascusH1834, saithH559 YhwhH3068, whose nameH8034 is The GodH430 of ArmiesH6635.
