21 I hate, I abhorre your feast dayes, and I will not smell in your solemne assemblies.

22 Though ye offer me burnt offeringes, and meate offeringes, I will not accept them, neither will I regarde the peace offering of your fat beastes.

23 Take thou away from me the multitude of thy songues, for I will not heare the melodie of thy violes.

24 And let iudgement run downe as water, and righteousnesse as a mightie riuer.

25 Haue ye offered vnto me sacrifices and offringes in the wildernesse fourtie yeres, O house of Israel?

26 But ye haue borne Siccuth your king, and Chiun your images, and the starre of your gods, which ye made to your selues.

27 Therfore will I cause you to go into captiuitie beyonde Damascus, sayth the Lorde, whose name is the God of hoastes.
