Isaiah 66:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Whoever slaughters an ox
    is like one who kills a man;
whoever sacrifices a lamb
    is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever presents an offering of grain
    is like one who offers a swine’s blood;
whoever burns incense as a memorial
    is like one who blesses an idol.
These people have chosen their own ways,
    and they delight in their loathsome abominations.
⁴ I in turn will choose to punish them harshly
    and bring upon them what they fear
because, when I called, no one answered,
    and when I spoke, they refused to listen.
Rather, they did what was evil in my sight
    and chose what displeased me.
⁵ Hear the word of the Lord,
    you who tremble at his word.
Your brethren who hate you
    and reject you because of my name, have said,
“Let the Lord be glorified
    so that we may witness your joy”;
    however, they themselves will be put to shame.
