Amos 5:21-24

New International Reader's Version

“I hate your holy feasts.
    I can’t stand them.
    Your gatherings stink.
²² You bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings.
    But I will not accept them.
You bring your best friendship offerings.
    But I will not even look at them.
²³ Take the noise of your songs away!
    I will not listen to the music of your harps.
²⁴ I want you to treat others fairly.
    So let fair treatment roll on
    just as a river does!
Always do what is right.
    Let right living flow along
    like a stream that never runs dry!
