Amos 5:22 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 5:22

20 Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light?
Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

21 “I^a hate, I despise your feast days,
And ^bI do not savor your sacred assemblies.

22 ^aThough you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them,
Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.

23 Take away from Me the noise of your songs,
For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

24 ^aBut let justice run down like water,
And righteousness like a mighty stream.

25 “Did^a you offer Me sacrifices and offerings
In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

26 You also carried¹ Sikkuth ^ayour king
And Chiun, your idols,
The star of your gods,
Which you made for yourselves.

27 Therefore I will send you into captivity ^abeyond Damascus,”
Says the Lord, ^bwhose name is the God of hosts.

Amos 5:22-25

There is no indication that they were not keeping the holy days of God. But there was something about these people, that God did not consider it to be "His." It was now "theirs." They were keeping it in a self-centered way, according to their own way.

Well, they were offering sacrifices and offerings.
