Amos 5:25-27
New Living Translation
25 “Was it to me you were bringing sacrifices and offerings during the forty years in the wilderness, Israel? 26 No, you served your pagan gods—Sakkuth your king god and Kaiwan your star god—the images you made for yourselves. 27 So I will send you into exile, to a land east of Damascus,[a]” says the Lord, whose name is the God of Heaven’s Armies.

In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

Says the Lord, (D)whose name is the God of hosts.

Amos 5:25-27
The Voice
25 Did you offer Me sacrifices or give Me offerings during the 40 years I guided you in the wilderness, people of Israel? 26 But now you place your trust in false gods; you pray to the idols Sikkuth (your king) and Kiyyun (the star god), those detestable images that you’ve made for yourselves. 27 Because of your worship offered to man-made images, you must go away—beyond Damascus.[a]
So says the Eternal God, the Commander of heavenly armies.
