  I will not listen to the music of your harps.  shirts, curtains, bedsheets, scrap material and cotton batting 63 x 84 inches 2021

I hate, I despise your religious festivals.

    your assemblies are a stench to me.

Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings,

    I will not accept them.

Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,

    I will have no regard for them. 

Away with the noise of your songs!

    I will not listen to the music of your harps.

But let justice roll on like a river,

    righteousness like a never-failing stream!

Amos 5:21-24 NIV
