Amos 5:23-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
23Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps. 24But let justice roll out like waters, And righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, house of Israel?
26You also carried along Sikkuth your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves.
27Therefore I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus,' says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.

Chapter 5
23Away with your noisy hymns of praise! I will not listen to the music of your harps. 24Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living.
25Was it to me you were bringing sacrifices and offerings during the forty years in the wilderness, Israel?
26No, you served your pagan gods — Sakkuth your king god and Kaiwan your star god — the images you made for yourselves.
27So I will send you into exile, to a land east of Damascus, ' says the Lord, whose name is the God of Heaven’s Armies.
