Isaiah 66:3-4
New International Version
3 But whoever sacrifices a bull(A)
is like one who kills a person,
and whoever offers a lamb
is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever makes a grain offering
is like one who presents pig’s(B) blood,
and whoever burns memorial incense(C)
is like one who worships an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,(D)
and they delight in their abominations;(E)
4 so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and will bring on them what they dread.(F)
For when I called, no one answered,(G)
when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil(H) in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(I)
Isaiah 66:3-4
King James Version
3 He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.

Isaiah 66:3-4
New King James Version
3 “He(A) who kills a bull is as if he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he (B)breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood;
He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.
Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
4 So will I choose their delusions,
And bring their fears on them;
(C)Because, when I called, no one answered,
When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”
Isaiah 66:3-4
English Standard Version
3 (A)“He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man;
he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck;
he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers (B)pig's blood;
he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol.
(C)These have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delights in their abominations;
4 (D)I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and bring (E)their fears upon them,
(F)because when I called, no one answered,
when I spoke, they did not listen;
(G)but they did what was evil in my eyes
and chose that in which I did not delight.”
