God Rejects Empty Worship

Amos 5:21-27

I hate and abhorre your feast dayes, and I wil not smelll in your solemne assemblies.

Though ye offer me burnt offrings and meat offrings, I wil not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offrings of your fat beasts.

Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songs (for I wil not heare the melodie of thy violes)

And let iudgement runne downe as waters, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer.

Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offrings in the wildernesse fourtie yeeres, O house of Israel?

But you haue borne Siccuth your King, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues.

Therefore wil I cause you to goe into captiuitie beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose Name is the God of hostes.
