For (A)My hand made all these things,
Thus all these things came into being,” declares Yahweh.
“But to this one I will look,
To him who is humble and (B)contrite of spirit, and who (C)trembles at My word.

But he who slaughters an ox is the one who strikes down a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb is the one who breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering is the one who offers (D)swine’s blood;
He who (E)offers a memorial offering of frankincense is the one who blesses wickedness.
As they have chosen their (F)own ways,
And their soul takes pleasure in their (G)detestable things,
So I will (H)choose their [a]punishments
And will (I)bring on them what they dread,
Because I called, but (J)no one answered;
I spoke, but they did not listen.
And they did what was (K)evil in My eyes
And chose that in which I did not take pleasure.”
