Amos 5:24: 'But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.'
Amos is speaking to a prosperous Israel that loved religious festivals but exploited the poor.
God says through Amos: I hate your festivals. I despise your worship. As long as you're crushing the poor, your songs are noise.
'Let justice roll down like waters.' Not a trickle. A flood. Constant. Unstoppable.
'Righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.' This is what God wants more than your services and offerings. Worship that doesn't produce justice isn't worship he accepts.
