The Day Of Yahweh

20 Shall not the day of Yahweh be, darkness, and not light? yea, thick darkness and no brightness in it? 21 I hate, I despise your festivals, - and can scent no fragrance in your solemn feasts. 22 Nay, though ye cause to ascend unto me ascending-sacrifices, and your meal-offerings, I will not accept them , - nor, the peace-offering of your fat heifers, will I regard.
