Amos 5:25-27
International Children’s Bible
25 “People of Israel, you did not bring me sacrifices and offerings
while you traveled in the desert for 40 years.
26 But now you will have to carry with you
your king, the false god Sakkuth,
and Kaiwan your idol
and the idols of your other star gods you have made.
27 This is because I will send you away as captives beyond Damascus,”
says the Lord. His name is God of heaven’s armies.
Amos 5:25-27
New International Version
25 “Did you bring me sacrifices(A) and offerings
forty years(B) in the wilderness, people of Israel?
26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king,
the pedestal of your idols,(C)
the star of your god[a]—
which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into exile(D) beyond Damascus,”
says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty.(E)
