5:23Take away from me your61 noisy songs;

I don’t want to hear the music of your stringed instruments.62

Amos 5:23–24: Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

Footnotes

  1. 61 In this verse the second person suffixes are singular and not plural like they are in vv. 21–22 and vv. 25–27. Some have suggested that perhaps a specific individual or group within the nation is in view.
  2. 62 The Hebrew word probably refers to “harps” (, , ) or “lutes” ().
