Amos 5:23
_ _ Take ... away from me — literally, “Take away, from upon Me”; the idea being that of a burden pressing upon the bearer. So Isaiah 1:14, “They are a trouble unto Me (literally, ‘a burden upon Me’): I am weary to bear them.”
_ _ the noise of thy songs — The hymns and instrumental music on sacred occasions are to Me nothing but a disagreeable noise.
_ _ I will not hear — Isaiah substitutes “prayers” (Isaiah 1:15) for the “songs” and “melody” here; but, like Amos, closes with “I will not hear.” |
Amos 5:23
Thy songs — Used in their sacrifices, and solemn feasts; herein they imitated the temple — worship, but all was unpleasing to the Lord. Will not hear — Not with delight and acceptance. Thy viols — This one kind of musical instrument is put for all the rest. |
- the noise:
Amos 6:5 That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
Amos 8:3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: [there shall be] many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast [them] forth with silence.
Amos 8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only [son], and the end thereof as a bitter day.
