Matthew Poole and continuators on Amos 6:5

5 That chant to the sound of the viol , and invent to themselves instruments of musick , like David .

Wo to them that in a time of deepest Mourning, do entertain themselves with Songs, and with greatest skill sing to their Musical Instruments as if they had no greater thing to mind.

Or Lute or Guitern, one kind put for every one used in their Feastings at this time of Amos.

Not content with known, old-fashion'd Musick, they find out new Instruments, New Songs and Tunes.

In imitation of David, as they profanely pretend, or else emulating his skill, and preferring their own Feast Songs and Musick, before his Temple Musick and Songs. We may imagine what Songs such ungodly, cruel, voluptuous men would sing, and what Tunes they would set too, on such occasions, viz. loose, profane and impure enough.
