The Prophet Amos

“I hate, I despise your feasts,
        and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
     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.
     Take away from me the noise of your songs;
        to the melody of your harps I will not listen.
     But let justice roll down like waters,
        and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
(Amos 5:21-24 ESV)
