God’s Word Translation
Amos 5:21-27
21I hate your festivals; I despise them. I’m not pleased with your religious assemblies.
22Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I won’t accept them. I won’t even look at the fellowship offerings of your choicest animals.
23Spare me the sound of your songs. I won’t listen to the music of your harps.
24But let justice flow like a river and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25Did you bring me sacrifices and grain offerings in the desert for 40 years, nation of Israel?
26You carried along the statues of ⌞the god⌟ Sikkuth as your king and the star Kiyyun, the gods you made for yourselves.
27I will send you into exile beyond Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of Armies.
