18. Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord shall be darkness, and not light.
19. As if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall and a serpent bit him.
20. Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21. I hate, I despise your solemnities, and I will not savour your assemblies.
22. Though ye offer me your burnt offerings and your presents, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
