³ “But he who kills an ox is like one who slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb is like the one who breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering is like one who offers ^(A)swine’s blood;
He who ^[a](B)burns incense is like the one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their ^(C)own ways,
And their soul delights in their ^(D)abominations,

^6 (A)With what shall I come to the Lord
And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come to Him with ^(B)burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
⁷ Does the Lord take delight in ^(C)thousands of rams,
In ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I present my ^(D)firstborn for my rebellious acts,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
