Amos 5:18-27

Woe
<01945>
unto you that desire
<0183> (8693)
the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>_!
to what end
<04100>
[is] it for you? the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] darkness
<02822>_,
and not light
<0216>_.
As if a man
<0376>
did flee
<05127> (8799)
from
<06440>
a lion
<0738>_,
and a bear
<01677>
met
<06293> (8804)
him; or went
<0935> (8804)
into the house
<01004>_,
and leaned
<05564> (8804)
his hand
<03027>
on the wall
<07023>_,
and a serpent
<05175>
bit
<05391> (8804)
him.
[Shall] not the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
[be] darkness
<02822>_,
and not light
<0216>_?
even very dark
<0651>_,
and no brightness
<05051>
in it?
I hate
<08130> (8804)_,
I despise
<03988> (8804)
your feast days
<02282>_,
and I will not smell
<07306> (8686)
in your solemn assemblies
<06116>_.
{in...: or, your holy days}
Though ye offer
<05927> (8686)
me burnt offerings
<05930>
and your meat offerings
<04503>_,
I will not accept
<07521> (8799)
[them]: neither will I regard
<05027> (8686)
the peace offerings
<08002>
of your fat beasts
<04806>_.
{peace...: or, thank offerings}
Take thou away
<05493> (8685)
from me the noise
<01995>
of thy songs
<07892>_;
for I will not hear
<08085> (8799)
the melody
<02172>
of thy viols
<05035>_.
But let judgment
<04941>
run down
<01556> (8735)
as waters
<04325>_,
and righteousness
<06666>
as a mighty
<0386>
stream
<05158>_.
{run: Heb. roll}
Have ye offered
<05066> (8689)
unto me sacrifices
<02077>
and offerings
<04503>
in the wilderness
<04057>
forty
<0705>
years
<08141>_,
O house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_?
But ye have borne
<05375> (8804)
the tabernacle
<05522>
of your Moloch
<04428>
and Chiun
<03594>
your images
<06754>_,
the star
<03556>
of your god
<0430>_,
which ye made
<06213> (8804)
to yourselves. {the tabernacle...: or, Siccuth your king}
Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity
<01540> (8689)
beyond
<01973>
Damascus
<01834>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] The God
<0430>
of hosts
<06635>_.
