Isaiah 66:3-5

Modern English Version

³ He who kills a bull
    is as if he kills a man;
he who sacrifices a lamb,
    as if he breaks a dog’s neck;
he who offers a grain offering,
    as if he offers swine’s blood;
he who burns incense,
    as if he blesses an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,
    and their soul delights in their abominations;
⁴ I also will choose their punishments
    and will bring their fears on them,
because when I called, no one answered;
    when I spoke, they did not listen;
but they did evil before My eyes
    and chose that in which I did not delight.

⁵ Hear the word of the Lord,
    you who tremble at His word:
Your brothers who hate you,
    who cast you out for My name’s sake, said,
“Let the Lord be glorified
    that we may see your joy.”
    Yet they shall be ashamed.
