23. Take away from Me the noise of your songs,For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.
24. But let justice run down like water,And righteousness like a mighty stream.
25. “Did you offer Me sacrifices and offeringsIn the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
26. You also carried Sikkuth your kingAnd Chiun, your idols,The star of your gods,Which you made for yourselves.
27. Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus,”Says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts.
