Amos 5:22

Integrity

20 Will not the Day of the LORD be darkness and not light, even gloom with no brightness in it?

21 “I hate, I despise your feasts! I cannot stand the stench of your solemn assemblies.

Even though you offer Me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; for your peace offerings of fattened cattle I will have no regard.

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

24 But let justice roll on like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
