I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.
I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.
Amos 5:18–24
“Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD!
Why do you long for the day of the LORD?
It is darkness,
and not light.
As if a man fled from a lion,
and a bear met him;
or he went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall,
and a snake bit him.
Won’t the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light?
Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.
Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings,
I will not accept them;
neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
Take away from me the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.
But let justice roll on like rivers,
and righteousness like a mighty stream.
