Acts 7:42-43
The Message
Acts 7:42-43
The Message
42-43 “God wasn’t at all pleased; but he let them do it their way, worship every new god that came down the pike—and live with the consequences, consequences described by the prophet Amos:
Did you bring me offerings of animals and grains
those forty wilderness years, O Israel?
Hardly. You were too busy building shrines
to war gods, to sex goddesses,
Worshiping them with all your might.
That’s why I put you in exile in Babylon.
Acts 7:42
New International Version

“‘Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings
forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel?
