Alas, you who are longing for the day of the LORD , For what purpose will the day of the LORD be to you? It will be darkness and not light;
19
As when a man flees from a lion And a bear meets him, Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall And a snake bites him.
20
Will not the day of the LORD be darkness instead of light, Even gloom with no brightness in it?
21
"I hate, I reject your festivals, Nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies.
22
"Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.
