Old Testament

New Testament

Amos 5:20-27 English Standard Version (ESV)

20. Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light,and gloom with no brightness in it?

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 grain offerings,I will not accept them;and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,I will not look upon them.

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 during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

26. You shall take up Sikkuth your king, and Kiyyun your star-god—your images that you made for yourselves,

27. and I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts.
