Isaiah 66:1-3

International Standard Version

“Heaven is my throne,
    and the earth is my footstool.
Where is the house^[a] that you would build for me,
    and where will my resting place be?
² All these things my hand has made,
    and so all these things came into being,”
        declares the Lord.
“But this is the one to whom I will look favorably:
    to the one who is humble and contrite in spirit,
        and who^[b] trembles at^[c] my message.

³ “Whoever slaughters an ox
    is just like^[d] one who kills a human being;
whoever sacrifices a lamb
    is just like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever makes a grain offering
    is just like one who offers pig’s blood;
and whoever makes a memorial offering of frankincense
    is just like one who blesses an idol.
Yes, these have chosen their own ways,
    and they take delight in their contaminated actions.
