Amos 5:21-27
Legacy Standard Bible

21 “I hate, I (A)reject your feasts,
Nor do I [a](B)delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 Even though you (C)offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
And I will not even look at the (D)peace offerings of your fatlings.
23 Remove from Me the tumult of your songs;
I will not even listen to the melody of your harps.
24 But let (E)justice roll down like waters
And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

25 “[b](F)Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? 26 (G)You also carried along [c]Sikkuth your king and [d]Kiyyun, your images, [e]the star of your gods which you made for yourselves. 27 Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of hosts.

Amos 5:21-27
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 forty years in the wilderness?(H) 26 But you have taken up[a] Sakkuth your king and Kaiwan your star god,[b] images you have made for yourselves.(I) 27 So I will send you into exile beyond Damascus.”(J) The Lord, the God of Armies, is his name.(K) He has spoken.
