Amos 5:23 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

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.

Amos 5:23

23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
