Isaiah 66:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

‘Heaven is my throne.
    The earth is the place where I put my feet.
So you could not build a house for me to live in.
    Where would I lie down to rest?
² I made all these things with my own hands.
    That is how everything began.’

‘I am pleased with people who are humble.
Those people are sorry when they do wrong things.
    They respect my teaching.
³ You may kill a bull as a sacrifice to me,
    but you might also kill a man.
You may offer a lamb to me as a sacrifice,
    but you might also break a dog's neck to offer to your idols.
You may give me a grain offering,
    but you also offer pigs' blood.
You may burn incense to worship me
    but you also worship false gods.
Yes, these people have chosen how they want to live.
    They love to do these disgusting things.
