Amos 5:21 in context

Amos 5:18–24

18

“Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD!

Why do you long for the day of the LORD?

It is darkness,

and not light.

19

As 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.

20

Won’t the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light?

Even very dark, and no brightness in it?

21
Selected verse

I hate, I despise your feasts,

and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.

22

Yes, 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.

23

Take away from me the noise of your songs!

I will not listen to the music of your harps.

24

But let justice roll on like rivers,

and righteousness like a mighty stream.
