Isaiah 66:3-6

Legacy Standard Bible

³ “But he who slaughters an ox is the one who strikes down a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb is the one who breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering is the one who offers ^(A)swine’s blood;
He who ^(B)offers a memorial offering of frankincense is the one who blesses wickedness.
As they have chosen their ^(C)own ways,
And their soul takes pleasure in their ^(D)detestable things,
⁴ So I will ^(E)choose their ^[a]punishments
And will ^(F)bring on them what they dread,
Because I called, but ^(G)no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
And they did what was ^(H)evil in My eyes
And chose that in which I did not take pleasure.”
⁵ Hear the word of Yahweh, you who ^(I)tremble at His word:
“Your brothers who ^(J)hate you, who ^(K)exclude you for My name’s sake,
Have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your gladness.’
But ^(L)they will be put to shame.
⁶ A voice of rumbling from the city, a voice from the temple,
The voice of Yahweh who is ^(M)paying recompense to His enemies.
