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. |
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. |
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? |
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. |
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. |
23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. |
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. |
