Amos 5:16-20 NKJV


Amos 5:16-20 Therefore, the LORD God of hosts, the Lord, says this; "There shall be wailing in all streets, And they shall say in all the highways, "Alas! Alas!' They shall call the farmer to mourning, And skillful lamenters to wailing.

In all vineyards there shall be wailing, For I will pass through you," Says the LORD.

Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! For what good is the day of the LORD to you?  It will be darkness, and not light.

It will be as though a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on the wall, And a serpent bit him!

Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

Jeremiah 9:17-22 Thus says the LORD of hosts; "Consider and call for the mourning women, That they may come; And send for skilled wailing women, That they may come.

Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, That our eyes may run with tears, And our eyelids gush with water.

For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion; 'How we are plundered!  We are greatly ashamed, Because we have forsaken the land, Because we have been cast out of our dwellings.'"

Yet hear the word of the LORD, O women, And let your ear receive the word of His mouth; Teach your daughters wailing, And everyone her neighbor a lamentation.

For death has come through our windows, Has entered our palaces, To kill off the children--no longer to be outside! And the young men--no longer on the streets!

Speak, "Thus says the LORD; 'Even the carcassess of men shall fall as refuse on the open field, Like cuttings after the harvester, And no one shall gather them.'"

Exodus 12:1-14 Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

"This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month for the year to you.

"Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, 'On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a  lamb for a household.

'And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man's need you shall make your count for the lamb.

'Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.

'Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.

'And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.

'Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs they shall eat it.

'Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire--its head with its legs and its entrails.

'You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire.

"And thus you shall eat it with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste, It is the LORD'S Passover.

'For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment; I am the LORD.

'Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

'So this day shall be a sign to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.
