24But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!


In Context

21 "I hate, I despise your religious feasts; I cannot stand your assemblies.

23 Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.

24 But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!

25 "Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the desert, O house of Israel?

26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king, the pedestal of your idols, the star of your god - which you made for yourselves.
