Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Amos 5:21-24

Amos 5:21-24. I hate and despise your feast-days This and the three following verses are the same in sense with Isaiah 1:11-16, and the other texts referred to in the margin, on which the reader is desired to consult the notes. They all show of how little signification the external rites of religion are, unless they be accompanied with living faith in, and sincere love to God, and a universal obedience to his will; or without holiness of heart and life. Take away from me the noise of thy... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Amos 5:16-27

The day of the Lord (5:16-27)God’s terrible judgment will result in grief and mourning throughout the nation, in city and country areas alike (16-17). This intervention of God in judgment is commonly called the day of the Lord. Israelites thought that this day would be one of victory and rejoicing for them because their enemies would be destroyed. Amos tells them that when God acts in judgment, he will act against all the wicked, and Israel will be the first to suffer. There will be no way of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Amos 5:23

"Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols."There are two things God condemned in this verse: (1) the noise of the songs of their worship, and (2) the mechanical instruments used in their worship. Commentators generally have (1) either skipped the questions raised by this verse as did McKeating;[53] (2) dismissed the verse on the grounds that the only thing God had against anything at Bethel was the worshipper's violation of the rights of the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Amos 5:23

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 1:14- :) for the "songs" and "melody" here; but, like Amos, closes with "I will not hear." read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Amos 5:23

In Amos 5:23-24 the singular pronoun "your" appears indicating that the call is for individuals to repent. God told His people to take away the songs that they sang when they worshipped Him because they were only so much noise in His ears. He would not even listen to the musical accompaniment. He would shut His ears as well as His nostrils (Amos 5:21, vivid anthropomorphisms)."Today people will pay high prices for tickets to ’Christian concerts,’ yet they won’t attend a free Bible study class... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Amos 5:1-27

The Works of God Amos 5:8 The text brings the works of God and the name of God into one focus, and makes use of both as an argument with man to raise himself from the low and unworthy pretences of religion to Him Who sits high above the magnificence of all material forms, yet deigns to listen to the whisper of a kneeling child. I. Seek Him because He is Immutable. This is declared by 'the seven stars and Orion,' and by all the constellations among which the Pleiades are set. It is a... read more
