Amos 5:20 in context

  1. 18“Woe to you who desire the day of Yahweh!
    Why do you long for the day of Yahweh?
    It is darkness,
    and not light.
  2. 19As if a man fled from a lion,
    and a bear met him;
    Or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall,
    and a snake bit him.
  3. 20Won’t the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light?
    Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
  4. 21I hate, I despise your feasts,
    and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.
  5. 22Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings,
    I will not accept them;
    neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
