21 “I have hated—I have loathed your festivals, || And I am not refreshed by your restraints. 22 For though you cause burnt-offerings and your presents to ascend to Me, || I am not pleased, || And I do not behold the peace-offering of your fatlings. 23 Turn the noise of your songs aside from Me, || Indeed, I do not hear the praise of your stringed instruments. 24 And judgment rolls on as waters, || And righteousness as a perennial stream. 25 Did you bring sacrifices and offerings near to Me, || In a wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 26 And you bore Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, || The star of your god, that you made for yourselves. 27 And I removed you beyond Damascus,” said YHWH—God of Hosts [is] His Name.
