18 Wo vnto you that desire the day of the Lorde, what haue ye to do with it? the day of the Lorde is darkenes, and not light. 19 As if a man dyd flee from a lion, and a beare meete him, & went into the house, and leaned his hand vnto the wal, and a serpent bite hym. 20 Shall not the day of the Lorde be darkenesse, and not light? euen darkenesse and no light in it. 21 I hate, I abhorre your feast dayes, and I will not smell in your solemne assemblies. 22 Though ye offer me burnt offeringes, and meate offeringes, I will not accept them, neither will I regarde the peace offering of your fat beastes. 23 Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songues, for I will not heare the melodie of thy violes. 24 And let iudgement run downe as water, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer. 25 Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offringes in the wildernesse fourtie yeres, O house of Israel? 26 But ye haue borne Siccuth your king, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues. 27 Therfore will I cause you to go into captiuitie beyonde Damascus, sayth the Lorde, whose name is the God of hoastes.
