24. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
25. Did you perchance offer me any sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness in forty years, O house of Israel?
26. But ye have offered unto Sicut your king, and unto Chiun your idols, the star of your gods which ye made.
27. Therefore I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, said the Lord, whose name is The God of the hosts.
