21 “I hate, I despise your⁺ feasts! I cannot stand the stench of your⁺ solemn assemblies. 22 Even though you⁺ offer Me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; for your⁺ peace offerings of fattened cattle I will have no regard. 23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. 24 But let justice roll on like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. 25 Did you⁺ bring Me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel (he wrestles with God)? 26 You⁺ have taken along Sakkuth (tent) your⁺ king and Kaiwan (an image / pillar) your⁺ star god, the idols you⁺ made for yourselves. 27 Therefore I will send you⁺ into exile beyond Damascus Amos 5:21-27, Berean Annotated Bible.
