Isaiah 66:3-5
New American Standard Bible
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 (A)pig’s blood;
One who [a](B)burns incense is like one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their (C)own ways,
And their souls delight in their (D)abominations,
4 So I will (E)choose their [b]punishments
And (F)bring on them what they dread.
Because I called, but (G)no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
Instead, they did (H)evil in My sight
And chose that in which I did not delight.”
5 Hear the word of the Lord, you who (I)tremble at His word:
“Your brothers who (J)hate you, who (K)exclude you on account of My name,
Have said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, so that we may see your joy.’
But (L)they will be put to shame.

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)
