²¹ “I^(A) hate, I despise your feast days,
And ^(B)I do not savor your sacred assemblies.
^22 (C)Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them,
Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
²³ Take away from Me the noise of your songs,
For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

⁷ The Lord has spurned His altar,
He has ^(A)abandoned His sanctuary;
He has ^[a]given up the walls of her palaces
Into the hand of the enemy.
^(B)They have made a noise in the house of the Lord
As on the day of a set feast.

¹⁰ The adversary has spread his hand
Over all her ^[a]pleasant things;
For she has seen ^(A)the nations enter her ^[b]sanctuary,
Those whom You commanded
^(B)Not to enter Your assembly.

^7 (A)The lion has come up from his thicket,
And ^(B)the destroyer of nations is on his way.
He has gone forth from his place
^(C)To make your land desolate.
Your cities will be laid waste,
Without inhabitant.

¹² “When you come ^(B)to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
¹³ Bring no more ^(C)futile^[a] sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and ^(D)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
¹⁴ Your ^(E)New Moons and your ^(F)appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
