Amós 5:21 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 5:21

I hate, I despise your feast days
Kimchi thinks this is said, and what follows, with respect to the kingdom of the house of Judah, which kept the feast the Lord commanded; but it is not necessary so to understand it; for doubtless the ten tribes imitated the worship at Jerusalem, and kept the feasts as the Jews did there, in the observance of which they trusted; but the Lord rejects their vain confidence, and lets them know that these were no ways acceptable to him; and were so far from atoning for their sins, that they were hated, abhorred, and despised by him, being observed in such a manner and with such a view as they were; and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies;
a sweet savour of rest, as in ( Genesis 8:21 ) ; take no pleasure in their duties and services performed, in their solemn assemblies convened together for religious purposes, nor accept of them; but, on the contrary, dislike and abhor them; see ( Isaiah 1:11-14 ) .

Amós 5:21 In-Context

19 Será como se um homem fugisse de um leãoe encontrasse um urso;como alguém que entrasse em sua casae, encostando a mão na parede,fosse picado por uma serpente.

20 O dia do SENHOR será de trevas e não de luz.Uma escuridão total, sem um raio de claridade.

21 “Eu odeio e desprezo as suas festas religiosas;não suporto as suas assembleias solenes.

22 Mesmo que vocês me tragam holocaustos e ofertas de cereal,isso não me agradará.Mesmo que me tragam as melhores ofertas de comunhão,não darei a menor atenção a elas.

23 Afastem de mim o som das suas cançõese a música das suas liras.
