Amos 5:22-25

New Catholic Bible

²² Even though you bring me
    your burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
    I will not accept them.
Nor will I look favorably
    upon your stall-fed peace offerings.
²³ Spare me the noise of your chanting;
    I will not listen to the melodies of your harps.
²⁴ Rather, let justice flow like a river,
    and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
²⁵ Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
    during those forty years in the desert,
    O house of Israel?
