Amos
In Amos, the LORD rejects their feasts, assemblies, offerings, and songs. The passage contrasts ritual with the demand for justice and righteousness. See Amos 5:21–24.
21I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat animals.
23Take away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your viols.
24But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
