Amos 5:21 Context
19As if a man did flee from a lyon, and a beare met him, or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. 20Shall not the day of the Lord be darkenes, and not light? euen very darke, and no brightnesse in it? 21¶ I hate, I despise your feast dayes, and I will not smell in your solemne assemblies. 22Though ye offer me burnt offerings, and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. 23Take thou away from mee the noise of thy songs: for I will not heare the melodie of thy violes.
