Amos 5:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 5:20

18 ^aWoe to you who desire the day of the Lord!
For what good is ^bthe day of the Lord to you?
It will be darkness, and not light.

19 It will be ^aas though a man fled from a lion,
And a bear met him!
Or as though he went into the house,
Leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him!

20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light?
Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

21 “I^a hate, I despise your feast days,
And ^bI do not savor your sacred assemblies.

22 ^aThough you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them,
Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
