Amos 5:21-27 - The Lord Rejects Israel's Worship
21 "'I hate and abhor your holidays, and whereas ye cense me when ye come together I will not accept it. 22 And though ye offer me burnt offerings and meat offerings, yet have I no pleasure therein. As for your fat thank offerings, I will not look upon them. 23 Away with that noise of thy songs, I will not hear thy plays of music: 24 but see that equity flow as the water, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25 O ye house of Israel, gave ye me offerings and sacrifices those forty years long in the wilderness? 26 Yet have ye set up tabernacles to your Moloch, and images of your Idols, yea and the star of your god Rempha: figures which ye made to worship them. 27 Therefore will I cause you be carried away beyond Damascus,' sayeth the LORD, whose name is the God of Hosts."
