Amos 5:21-27

21“I hate, I despise and reject your [sacred] feasts, And I do not take delight in your solemn assemblies.

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

23Take the noise of your songs away from Me [they are an irritation]! I shall not even listen to the melody of your harps.

24But let justice run down like waters And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream [flowing abundantly].

25“Did you bring Me sacrifices and grain offerings during those forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? [Certainly not!]

26You carried along your king Sikkuth and Kayyun [your man-made gods of Saturn], your images of your star-god which you made for yourselves [but you brought Me none of the appointed sacrifices].

27Therefore, I will send you to go into exile far beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts.
