17. And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.
18. Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! To what end is the day of Jehovah for you? It 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 Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21. I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will not smell a sweet odour in your solemn assemblies.
22. For if ye offer up unto me burnt-offerings and your oblations, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fatted beasts.
