“I hate, I despise your feasts, and I can't stand your solemn assemblies.”
““I absolutely despise your festivals! I get no pleasure from your religious assemblies!”
“I hate, and have rejected your festivities: and I will not receive the odour of your assemblies.”
“Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.”
“I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.”
Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! Wherefore would ye have the day of Jehovah? It is darkness, and not light.
As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
Yea, though ye offer me your burnt-offerings and meal-offerings, I will not accept them; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
But let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
