Amos 5:21-27

Jubilee Bible 2000

²¹ ¶ I hate, I despise your solemnities, and I will not savour your assemblies.

²² Though ye offer me your burnt offerings and your presents, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

²³ Take away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy instruments.

²⁴ But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

²⁵ Did you perchance offer me any sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness in forty years, O house of Israel?

²⁶ But ye have offered unto Sicut your king, and unto Chiun your idols, the star of your gods which ye made.

²⁷ Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, said the LORD, whose name is The God of the hosts.
