God Rejects Empty Worship

Amos 5:21-27

I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies.

And if you offer me holocausts, and your gifts, I will not receive them: neither will I regard the vows of your fat beasts.

Take away from me the tumult of thy songs: and I will not hear the canticles of thy harp.

But judgment shall be revealed as water, and justice as a mighty torrent.

Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me in the desert for forty years, O house of Israel?

But you carried a tabernacle for your Moloch, and the image of your idols, the star of your god, which you made to yourselves.

And I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, the God of hosts is his name.
