Amos 5:20 in Context — Amos 5

18 ¡Ay de los que desean el día de Jehová! ¿para qué queréis este día de Jehová? [Será de] tinieblas, y no luz:

19 Como el que huye de delante del león, y se topa con el oso; ó si entrare en casa y arrimare su mano á la pared, y le muerda la culebra.

20 ¿No será el día de Jehová tinieblas, y no luz; oscuridad, que no tiene resplandor?

21 Aborrecí, abominé vuestras solemnidades, y no me darán buen olor vuestras asambleas.

22 Y si me ofreciereis holocaustos y vuestros presentes, no los recibiré; ni miraré á los pacíficos de vuestros engordados.
