Amos 5:21

The Day Of Yahweh

²⁰ Will not the Day of the LORD be darkness, and not light pitch black at that, without a ray of sunshine?" ²¹ "I hate I despise your festival days, and your solemn convocations stink. ²² And if you send up burnt offerings to me as well as your grain offerings, I will not accept them, nor will I consider your peace offerings of fattened cattle.

Yes, these have chosen their own ways, and they take delight in their contaminated actions.
