Isaiah 66:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ You may kill a bull as a sacrifice to me,
    but you might also kill a man.
You may offer a lamb to me as a sacrifice,
    but you might also break a dog's neck to offer to your idols.
You may give me a grain offering,
    but you also offer pigs' blood.
You may burn incense to worship me
    but you also worship false gods.
Yes, these people have chosen how they want to live.
    They love to do these disgusting things.
⁴ So I will cause great trouble to come to them.
    It will be the trouble that they are so afraid of.
When I called out to them,
    nobody answered me.
When I spoke to them,
    nobody listened.
They did evil things against me.
    They chose to do things that I would hate.’
