21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell the savor of your solemn assemblies. 22 Though you offer me your burnt offerings and your meal offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. 23 Take away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your harps. 24 But let justice run down like waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. 25 Did you offer to me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel? 26 But you carried the tabernacle of Malcom and Chiun your idol, the star which you made a god to yourselves. 27 Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the LORD whose name is the God of hosts.
