God Rejects Empty Worship

21

¶ I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

22

Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.

23

Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.

24

But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.

25

Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

26

But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.

27

Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
