Amos 5:21-27
Holman Christian Standard Bible
21 I hate, I despise your feasts!(A)
I can’t stand the stench
of your solemn assemblies.(B)
22 Even if you offer Me
your burnt offerings and grain offerings,(C)
I will not accept them;(D)
I will have no regard
for your fellowship offerings of fattened cattle.(E)
23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.(F)
24 But let justice flow like water,
and righteousness, like an unfailing stream.(G)
25 “House of Israel, was it sacrifices and grain offerings that you presented to Me during the 40 years in the wilderness?(H) 26 But you have taken up[a] Sakkuth[b][c] your king[d] and Kaiwan[e] your star god, images you have made for yourselves.(I) 27 So I will send you into exile beyond Damascus.”(J) Yahweh, the God of Hosts, is His name.(K) He has spoken.
