Amos 5:21-27

21“I absolutely despise your festivals! I get no pleasure from your religious assemblies!

22Even if you offer me burnt and grain offerings, I will not be satisfied; I will not look with favor on your peace offerings of fattened calves.

23Take away from me your noisy songs; I don’t want to hear the music of your stringed instruments.

24Justice must flow like torrents of water, righteous actions like a stream that never dries up.

25You did not bring me sacrifices and grain offerings during the forty years you spent in the wilderness, family of Israel.

26You will pick up your images of Sikkuth, your king, and Kiyyun, your star god, which you made for yourselves,

27and I will drive you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord. He is called the God who commands armies!
