Amos 5:21-27

21“I hate, I 1reject your festivals, Nor do I 2 3delight in your festive assemblies.22Even though you 4offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; And I will not even look at the 5peace offerings of your fattened oxen.23Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps.24But let 6justice roll out like waters, And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

25“7 8Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, house of Israel? 26 9You also carried along 10Sikkuth your king and 11Kiyyun, your images, 12the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. 27Therefore I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.
