Amos 5:18-24

Amos 5:18-24 NASB2020

¶Woe to you who are longing for the day of the Lord, For what purpose will the day of the Lord be to you? It will be darkness and not light; As when a man flees from a lion And a bear confronts him, Or he goes home, leans with his hand against the wall, And a snake bites him. Will the day of the Lord not be darkness instead of light, Even gloom with no brightness in it? ¶“I hate, I reject your festivals, Nor do I delight in your festive assemblies. “Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fattened oxen. “Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps. “But let justice roll out like waters, And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
