Amos 5: 21 through 24

21 “I hate all your show and pretense – the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies.
22 I will not accept your burnt offerings and grain offerings. I won’t even notice all your choice peace offerings.
23 Away with your hymns of praise! They are only noise to my ears. I will not listen to your music, no matter how lovely it is.
24 Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, a river of righteous living that will never run dry.”
- New Living Translation

21 “I am powerless to resist all your show and pretense. They are so beautiful that I barely notice the hypocrisy between the way you really live your life and the show you put on for me at your church functions and services.
22 I will accept absolutely anything you want to give, but it should be no less than 10% of your gross income (not net, don’t try and cheat me). And it only counts if you give it to your church. You must do this because there is nothing more important to me than a big building with lots of staff designed to entertain my followers every Sunday morning, and it takes lots of money to entertain you people.
23 I love your forced and legalistic ritual worship every Sunday morning. How did you know I require at least 30 minutes of worship, but no more than 45 minutes once per week? I especially enjoy it when you sing the same chorus over and over and over ad nauseum.
24 I desire only to see a mighty flood of church sponsored events designed for your entertainment and a river of money to support them that will never run dry.”
