Bible. Amos
30:005:020 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even
very dark, and no brightness in it?
30:005:021 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in
your solemn assemblies.
30:005:022 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.
30:005:023 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not
hear the melody of thy viols.
30:005:024 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a
mighty stream.
30:005:025 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the
wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
30:005:026 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your
images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
30:005:027 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond
Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
30:006:001 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the
mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to
whom the house of Israel came!
30:006:002 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath
the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they
better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your
border?
30:006:003 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of
violence to come near;
30:006:004 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their
couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves
out of the midst of the stall;
30:006:005 That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves
instruments of musick, like David;
30:006:006 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief
ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of
Joseph.
30:006:007 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go
captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves
shall be removed.
30:006:008 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of
hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces:
therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
30:006:009 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one
house, that they shall die.
30:006:010 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him,
to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto
him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with
thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy
tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
