Amos 5:21-26
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 5

21'I hate, I reject your festivals, Nor do I delight in your festive assemblies. 22Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fattened oxen. 23Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps. 24But let justice roll out like waters, And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, house of Israel? 26You also carried along Sikkuth your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves.
King James Version

Chapter 5

21I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
22Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 5

21I hate, I despise, your feasts! I can’t stand the stench of your solemn assemblies. 22Even if you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; I will have no regard for your fellowship offerings of fattened cattle. 23Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. 24But let justice flow like water, and righteousness, like an unfailing stream.
25"House of Israel, was it sacrifices and grain offerings that you presented to me during the forty years in the wilderness? 26But you have taken up Sakkuth your king and Kaiwan your star god, images you have made for yourselves.
New Living Translation

Chapter 5

21'I hate all your show and pretense — the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies. 22I will not accept your burnt offerings and grain offerings. I won’t even notice all your choice peace offerings. 23Away with your noisy hymns of praise! I will not listen to the music of your harps. 24Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living.
25Was it to me you were bringing sacrifices and offerings during the forty years in the wilderness, Israel? 26No, you served your pagan gods — Sakkuth your king god and Kaiwan your star god — the images you made for yourselves.
English Standard Version

Chapter 5

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. 23Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. 24But 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? 26You shall take up Sikkuth your king, and Kiyyun your star-god — your images that you made for yourselves,
New International Version

Chapter 5

21"I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me. 22Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. 23Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! 25"Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel? 26You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your god — which you made for yourselves.
New King James Version

Chapter 5

21“I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies. 22 Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings. 23Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments. 24 But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream. 25“Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 26You also carried Sikkuth your king And Chiun, your idols, The star of your gods, Which you made for yourselves.
