Amos 5:18-24

1. 18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

2. 19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

3. 20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

4. 21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

5. 22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

6. 23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

7. 24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
