20. Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21. I hate, I despise your solemnities, and I will not savour your assemblies.
22. Though ye offer me your burnt offerings and your presents, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
23. Take away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy instruments.
24. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25. Did you perchance offer me any sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness in forty years, O house of Israel?
26. But ye have offered unto Sicut your king, and unto Chiun your idols, the star of your gods which ye made.
