Amos 5:21-27
21st Century King James Version
21 “I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell the scent in your solemn assemblies.
22 Though ye offer Me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23 Take thou away from Me the noise of thy songs, for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 But let judgment run down like waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 “Have ye offered unto Me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god which ye made for yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,” saith the Lord, whose name is The God of Hosts.

Amos 5:21-27
American Standard Version
21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I [a]will take no delight in your solemn assemblies. 22 Yea, though ye offer me [b]your burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the [c]peace-offerings of your fat beasts. 23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. 24 But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a [d]mighty stream.
25 Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and [e]offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 26 Yea, ye [f]have borne the tabernacle of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. 27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the God of hosts.
