Tremble At His Word

66 Thus says Adonai:

“Heaven is My throne,
    and the earth is My footstool.[a]
Where then is the House you would build for Me?
Where is the place of My rest?
For My hand has made all these things,
so all these things came to be,”
declares Adonai.
“But on this one will I look,
one humble and of a contrite spirit,
    who trembles at My word.”
One who kills an ox
    is like one who kills a man;
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 swine’s blood;
one who burns incense
    is like one who blesses an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,
so their soul delights in their abominations.
