21 I hated, I rejected your festivals, and I will not smell in your assemblies. 22 For if ye shall bring up to me burnt-offerings, and your gifts, I will not delight; and I will not look upon the peace-offerings of your fatlings. 23 Remove from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the music of thy lyres. 24 Judgment shall roll as the waters, and justice as a torrent of strength. 25 Did ye bring near to me sacrifices and gifts in the desert forty years, O house of Israel? 26 Ye lifted up the tent of your king and the statue of your images, the star of your God which he made for you. 27 And I caused you to be carried away captive farther off than Damascus, said Jehovah, God of armies his name.
