22 Though you offer me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fatted beasts. 23  Take away from me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your harps. 24 But let justice run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
