they sacrifice meat and eat it,
but the Lord is not pleased with them.(A)

Footnotes
- 8:13 Return to Egypt: to punish their violation of the covenant they will experience a reversal of the exodus.
Amos 5:21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Footnotes
- 5:21–27 The prophet does not condemn cultic activity as such but rather the people’s attempt to offer worship with hands unclean from oppression of their fellow Israelites (cf. Ps 15:2–5; 24:3–4). But worship from those who disregard justice and righteousness (v. 24) is never acceptable to the God of Israel. Through the Sinai covenant the love of God and the love of neighbor are inextricably bound together.
