Amos 5:24 Context
22Though ye offer me burnt offerings, and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. 23Take thou away from mee the noise of thy songs: for I will not heare the melodie of thy violes. 24But let iudgement run downe as waters, and righteousnesse as a mightie streame. 25Haue yee offered vnto mee sacrifices and offerings in the wildernesse fourtie yeeres, O house of Israel? 26But yee haue borne the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun your images, the starre of your god, which ye made to your selues.
