Amos 5:18-22 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

18. Woe to you who are longing for the day of יהוה! What does the day of יהוה mean to you? It is darkness, and not light,

19. as when a man flees from a lion, and a bear shall meet him; or entered his house, rested his hand on the wall, and a serpent shall bite him.

20. Is not the day of יהוה darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

21. “I have hated, I have despised your festivals, and I am not pleased with your assemblies.

22. “Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I do not accept them, nor do I look on your fattened peace offerings.
