Isaiah 66:3
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)
Isaiah 66:3

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.
