21 “I hate, I despise your feasts! I cannot stand the stench of your solemn assemblies. 22 Even though you offer Me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; for your peace offerings of fattened cattle I will have no regard. 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 a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. 25 Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? 26 You have taken along Sakkuth your king and Kaiwan your star god, the idols you made for yourselves. 27 Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the LORD, whose name is the God of Hosts.
