20. Won’t the day of Yahweh be darkness, and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?
21. I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can’t stand your solemn assemblies.
22. Yes, though you offer me your burnt offerings and meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.
23. Take away from me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24. But let justice roll on like rivers, and righteousness like a mighty stream.
25. “Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, house of Israel?
26. You also carried the tent of your king and the shrine of your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
27. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,” says Yahweh, whose name is the God of Armies.
