20. Won’t the Day of the Lordbe darkness rather than light, even gloom without any brightness in it?
21. I hate, I despise your feasts! I can’t stand the stenchof your solemn assemblies.
22. Even if you offer Meyour burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; I will have no regardfor your fellowship offerings of fattened cattle.
23. Take away from Me the noise of your songs!I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24. But let justice flow like water,and righteousness, like an unfailing stream.
25. “House of Israel, was it sacrifices and grain offerings that you presented to Me during the 40 years in the wilderness?
26. But you have taken up Sakkuth your king and Kaiwan your star god, images you have made for yourselves.
