Amos 5:25-27

25 (A)“People of Israel, I did not demand sacrifices and offerings during those forty years that I led you through the desert. 26 But now, because you have worshiped images of Sakkuth, your king god, and of Kaiwan, your star god, you will have to carry those images 27 when I take you into exile in a land beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is Almighty God.

25 “Did you bring me sacrifices(A) and offerings
forty years(B) in the wilderness, people of Israel?

the pedestal of your idols,(C)

which you made for yourselves.

says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty.(E)
