22. Though you offer Me your burnt offerings and your cereal offerings, I will not accept them, neither will I look upon the peace or thank offerings of your fatted beasts.
23. Take away from Me the noise of your songs, for I will not listen to the melody of your harps.
24. But let justice run down like waters and righteousness as a mighty and ever-flowing stream.
25. Did you bring to Me sacrifices and cereal offerings during those forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
26. [No] but [instead of bringing Me the appointed sacrifices] you carried about the tent of your king Sakkuth and Kaiwan [names for the gods of the planet Saturn], your images of your star-god which you made for yourselves [and you will do so again].
27. Therefore I will cause you to go into exile beyond Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts. [Acts 7:42, 43.]
