20 ♥ 📝 Shall not the day^H3117 of Jehovah^H3068 be darkness,^H2822 and not light?^H216 even very dark,^H651 and no brightness^H5051 in it?

21 ♥ 📝 I hate,^H8130 I despise^H3988 your feasts,^H2282 and I will take no delight^H7306 in your solemn assemblies.^H6116

22 ♥ 📝 Yea, though ye offer^H5927 me your burnt-offerings^H5930 and meal-offerings,^H4503 I will not accept^H7521 them; neither will I regard^H5027 the peace-offerings^H8002 of your fat beasts.^H4806

23 ♥ 📝 Take thou away^H5493 from me the noise^H1995 of thy songs;^H7892 for I will not hear^H8085 the melody^H2172 of thy viols.^H5035

24 ♥ 📝 But let justice^H4941 roll down^H1556 as waters,^H4325 and righteousness^H6666 as a mighty^H386 stream.^H5158

25 ♥ 📝 Did ye bring^H5066 unto me sacrifices^H2077 and offerings^H4503 in the wilderness^H4057 forty^H705 years,^H8141 O house^H1004 of Israel?^H3478
