Isaiah 66:3
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,
Isaiah 66:3
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,

Hypocrisy Rebuked
3
“He who kills an ox [for pagan sacrifice] is [as guilty] as one who kills a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as one who breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering, as one who offers swine’s blood;
He who offers incense, as one who blesses an idol.
Such people have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their repulsive acts;
