Amos 5:21-27

Revised Standard Version RSV

21 "I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.

22 Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and cereal offerings, I will not accept them, and the peace offerings of your fatted beasts I will not look upon.

23 Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen.

24 But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

25 "Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

26 You shall take up Sakkuth your king, and Kaiwan your star-god, your images, which you made for yourselves;

27 therefore I will take you into exile beyond Damascus," says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.

New International Version NIV

23 Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.

24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
