Amos 5:24 in Context — Amos 5
22 Quand vous me présentez des holocaustes et des offrandes, Je n’y prends aucun plaisir; Et les veaux engraissés que vous sacrifiez en actions de grâces, Je ne les regarde pas.
23 Éloigne de moi le bruit de tes cantiques; Je n’écoute pas le son de tes luths.
24 Mais que la droiture soit comme un courant d’eau, Et la justice comme un torrent qui jamais ne tarit.
25 M’avez-vous fait des sacrifices et des offrandes Pendant les quarante années du désert, maison d’Israël?…
26 Emportez donc la tente de votre roi, Le piédestal de vos idoles, L’étoile de votre Dieu Que vous vous êtes fabriqué!
