21 “I hate, I despise your religious festivals;

your assemblies are a stench to me.

21 “I hate, I despise your feasts,

and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.

21 I hate, I despise your feast days,

And I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

21 “I hate all your show and pretense—

the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies.

21 “I hate, I despise your feast days,

And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.

21 The Lord says, “I hate and reject your feasts;

I cannot stand your religious meetings.

21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will take no delight in your solemn assemblies.

21 I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will not smell a sweet odour in your solemn assemblies.

21 I hate your festivals; I despise them. 

I’m not pleased with your religious assemblies. 

21 I hate, I despise your feasts!

I can’t stand the stench

of your solemn assemblies.

21 “I hate, I despise your festivals, and I take no delight in your assemblies.

21 The Lord says,

“I hate your holy feasts.

I can’t stand them.

I hate it when you gather together.

21 “I hate, I reject your festivals,

Nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies.
