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,

¹⁷ “Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the ^(A)gardens,
^[a]Following one in the center,
Who eat ^(B)swine’s flesh, detestable things and mice,
Will ^(C)come to an end altogether,” declares the Lord.
