Amos 5:21-26 (New International Version)

 21 "I hate, I despise your religious feasts;
       I cannot stand your assemblies.

 22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings,
       I will not accept them.
       Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, [a]
       I will have no regard for them.

 23 Away with the noise of your songs!
       I will not listen to the music of your harps.

 24 But let justice roll on like a river,
       righteousness like a never-failing stream!

 25 "Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
       forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?

 26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king,
       the pedestal of your idols,
       the star of your god [b]
       which you made for yourselves.
