Isaiah 66:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 For (A)My hand made all these things,
So all these things came into being,” declares the Lord.
“But I will look to this one,
At one who is humble and (B)contrite in spirit, and who (C)trembles at My word.
Hypocrisy Rebuked
3 “But the one who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a person;
The one who sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
One who offers a grain offering is like one who offers (D)pig’s blood;
One who [a](E)burns incense is like one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their (F)own ways,
And their souls delight in their (G)abominations,
4 So I will (H)choose their [b]punishments
And (I)bring on them what they dread.
Because I called, but (J)no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
Instead, they did (K)evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”
