Amos 5:21 in Context — Amos 5

19 Vous serez comme un homme qui fuit devant un lion Et que rencontre un ours, Qui gagne sa demeure, appuie sa main sur la muraille, Et que mord un serpent.

20 Le jour de l’Éternel n’est-il pas ténèbres et non lumière? N’est-il pas obscur et sans éclat?

21 Je hais, je méprise vos fêtes, Je ne puis sentir vos assemblées.

22 Quand vous me présentez des holocaustes et des offrandes, Je n’y prends aucun plaisir; Et les veaux engraissés que vous sacrifiez en actions de grâces, Je ne les regarde pas.

23 Éloigne de moi le bruit de tes cantiques; Je n’écoute pas le son de tes luths.
