Amos 5:20-26 Modern English Version (MEV)

20. Will not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light?Will it not be deep darkness, with no brightness in it?

21. I hate, I despise your festivals,and I am not pleased by your solemn assemblies.

22. Though you offer Me burnt offerings or your grain offerings,I will not accept them,nor will I regard the offeringsof your fattened animals.

23. Take away from Me the noise of your songs;I will not listen to the melody of your harps.

24. But let justice roll down like water,and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

25. Did you bring Me sacrifices and offeringsthose forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

26. But you will carry away Sukuth your kingand Kaiwan your star-images,your gods that you made for yourselves,
