Amos 5:21-23

Expanded Bible

²¹ The Lord says, “I ·hate and reject [despise] your ·feasts [religious festivals];
    I ·cannot stand [take no delight in] your ·religious meetings [sacred assemblies].
²² If you offer me burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17] and ·grain [^Lgift; tribute] offerings [Lev. 2:1],
    I won’t accept them.
You bring your best ·fellowship [or peace; well-being] offerings [Lev. 3:1] of fattened cattle,
    but I will ·ignore [have no regard for] them [Is. 1:11].
²³ Take ·the noise of your songs [or your noisy songs] away from me!
    I won’t listen to the music of your ·harps [stringed instruments].
