20. Don’t you realize the Lord’s day of judgment will bring darkness, not light – gloomy blackness, not bright light?
21. “I absolutely despise your festivals!I get no pleasure from your religious assemblies!
22. Even if you offer me burnt and grain offerings, I will not be satisfied;I will not look with favor on your peace offerings of fattened calves.
23. Take away from me your noisy songs;I don’t want to hear the music of your stringed instruments.
24. Justice must flow like torrents of water,righteous actions like a stream that never dries up.
