The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
18 vae desiderantibus diem Domini ad quid eam vobis dies Domini ista tenebrae et non lux
18
Woe to you who long for the day of the LORD! Why do you long for the day of the LORD? That day will be darkness, not light.
19 quomodo si fugiat vir a facie leonis et occurrat ei ursus et ingrediatur domum et innitatur manu sua super parietem et mordeat eum coluber
19
It will be as though a man fled from a lion only to meet a bear, as though he entered his house and rested his hand on the wall only to have a snake bite him.
20 numquid non tenebrae dies Domini et non lux et caligo et non splendor in ea
20
Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?
21 odi et proieci festivitates vestras et non capiam odorem coetuum vestrorum
21
“I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me.
22 quod si adtuleritis mihi holocaustomata et munera vestra non suscipiam et vota pinguium vestrorum non respiciam
22
Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them.
23 aufer a me tumultum carminum tuorum et cantica lyrae tuae non audiam
23
Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24 et revelabitur quasi aqua iudicium et iustitia quasi torrens fortis
24
But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
25 numquid hostias et sacrificium obtulistis mihi in deserto quadraginta annis domus Israhel
25
“Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?
26 et portastis tabernaculum Moloch vestro et imaginem idolorum vestrorum sidus dei vestri quae fecistis vobis
26
You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your god — which you made for yourselves.
27 et migrare vos faciam trans Damascum dixit Dominus Deus exercituum nomen eius
27
Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the LORD, whose name is God Almighty.
