Whoever kills a bull is like someone who kills a person.
    Whoever sacrifices a lamb is like someone who breaks a dog’s neck.
    Whoever offers a grain sacrifice
    is like someone who offers pig’s blood.
    Whoever burns incense is like someone who worships an idol.
    People have certainly chosen their own ways,
        and their souls delight in detestable things.

So I will choose harsh treatment for them
    and bring on them what they fear.
    I called, but no one answered.
    I spoke, but they didn’t listen.
    They did what I consider evil.
    They chose what I don’t like.

Listen to the word of Yahweh, all who tremble at his word.

Your relatives, who hate you and exclude you for my name’s sake, say,
    “Let Yahweh show his glory; then we will see your joy.”
        But they will be put to shame.
