Isaiah 66:1-3

New Century Version

“Heaven is my throne,
    and the earth is my footstool.
So do you think you can build a house for me?
    Do I need a place to rest?
² My hand made all things.
    All things are here because I made them,”
says the Lord.

“These are the people I am pleased with:
    those who are not proud or stubborn
    and who fear my word.
³ But those people who kill bulls as a sacrifice to me
    are like those who kill people.
Those who kill sheep as a sacrifice
    are like those who break the necks of dogs.
Those who give me grain offerings
    are like those who offer me the blood of pigs.^[a]
Those who burn incense
    are like those who worship idols.
These people choose their own ways, not mine,
    and they love the terrible things they do.
