20. Isn’t the day of the Lord darkness, not light;all dark with no brightness in it?
21. I hate, I reject your festivals;I don’t enjoy your joyous assemblies.
22. If you bring me your entirely burned offerings and gifts of food—I won’t be pleased;I won’t even look at your offerings of well-fed animals.
23. Take away the noise of your songs;I won’t listen to the melody of your harps.
24. But let justice roll down like waters,and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25. Did you bring me sacrifices and offeringsduring the forty years in the wilderness, house of Israel?
26. You will take up Sakkuth your king,and Kaiwan your star-god,your images, which you made for yourselves.
