Amos 5:21-27 ▼

21 “I hate, I reject your feasts, Nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies.

22 Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.

23 Remove from Me the tumult of your songs; I will not even listen to the melody of your harps.

24 But let justice roll down like waters And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

25 “Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel?

26 You also carried along Sikkuth your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves.

27 Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of hosts.
