God abhorred this in Amos' day; and He abhors it still today...
“Woe to those who lie on beds of ivory
and stretch themselves out on their couches,
and eat lambs from the flock
and calves from the midst of the stall,
who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp
and like David invent for themselves instruments of music,
who drink wine in bowls
and anoint themselves with the finest oils,
but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph! - 6:4-6
As in Isaiah's day; so also today, "They have lyre and harp, tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts, BUT THEY DO NOT REGARD THE DEEDS OF THE LORD, OR SEE THE WORK OF HIS HANDS. - 5:12

God declared thru Amos: "Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen!" - 5:23
- Eph. 5:19 - ...speak to yourselves in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs...make melody in your heart...
- Eph. 5:19 - ...speak to yourselves in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs...make melody in your heart...
- Col. 3:16 - ...teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Matt. 5:4 - “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted..."
