21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I [a]will take no delight in your solemn assemblies. 22 Yea, though ye offer me [b]your burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the [c]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 justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a [d]mighty stream.
