Amos 5:21-27 - The Lord Rejects Israel's Worship
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.
