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
New International Version
21 “I hate,(A) I despise your religious festivals;(B)
your assemblies(C) are a stench to me.
22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings(D) and grain offerings,
I will not accept them.(E)
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
I will have no regard for them.(F)
23 Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.(G)
24 But let justice(H) roll on like a river,
righteousness(I) like a never-failing stream!(J)
25 “Did you bring me sacrifices(K) and offerings
forty years(L) in the wilderness, people of Israel?
26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king,
the pedestal of your idols,(M)
the star of your god[a]—
which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into exile(N) beyond Damascus,”
says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty.(O)
