Isaiah 66:1-3

New Catholic Bible

¹ Thus says the Lord:
    The heavens are my throne
    and the earth is my footstool.
What house could you build for me?
    What is to be my resting place?
² All these things were made by me,
    and so all these things are mine,
    says the Lord.
The one for whom I have regard
    is humble and contrite in spirit
    and trembles at my word.
³ Whoever slaughters an ox
    is like one who kills a man;
whoever sacrifices a lamb
    is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever presents an offering of grain
    is like one who offers a swine’s blood;
whoever burns incense as a memorial
    is like one who blesses an idol.
These people have chosen their own ways,
    and they delight in their loathsome abominations.
