Amos 5:22-25
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
22 Even though you bring me your burnt offerings and grain offerings
I will not accept them;
Your stall-fed communion offerings,
I will not look upon them.
23 Take away from me
your noisy songs;
The melodies of your harps,
I will not listen to them.
24 Rather let justice surge like waters,
and righteousness like an unfailing stream.
25 (A)Did you bring me sacrifices and grain offerings
for forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?(B)
