22
Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them.
22
Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; and the peace offerings of your fattened animals, I will not look upon them.
22
I want nothing to do with your religion projects, your pretentious slogans and goals. I'm sick of your fund-raising schemes, your public relations and image making.
22
Even if you offer Me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept [them]; I will have no regard for your fellowship offerings of fattened cattle.
Amos 5:22 In-Context
20
Will not the day of the LORD be darkness, not light— pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?
21
“I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me.
22
Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them.
23
Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24
But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
